What, exactly, are you commenting on?

If Nanavira labelled it "contraversial", this pertained to that society.

It was contraversial in a traditional superstitious Buddhist society such as Sri Lanka.

But we are not traditional Sri Lankans.

We are educated people living in another time and are evaluating the Buddha's teachings in the manner the Buddha exhorted.
