Perhaps you are right, and Nanavira wrong, perhaps Nanavira is right and you are wrong. I prefer his position:
awkward fact of rebirth is eliminated with the statement that the Buddha discouraged speculation on such questions (whereas, in fact, the Buddha said quite bluntly throughout the Suttas that there is rebirth: the speculation that the Buddha discouraged was whether the Tathāgata [or arahat] exists after death, which is quite another question). (Quotation about Huxley)
