Now wait a minute. If the Chinese government declares someone a reincarnation of Buddha, aren't they buying in to some supernatural priori unique to the Buddhist faith?

Somehow we all know that they aren't. They fit so well the role of the "Innovator" as described by C.S. Lewis in "the Abolition of Man".
