Dalai Lama, page-1028

What a post full of complete nonsense!

"The point you miss is that Ali was placed high in the organizations hierarchy in a line of succession"

What you miss is that the person with the absolute authority was given the divine right to do as he wishes and all must "turn their faces, one and all, towards the Most Mighty Branch (Abdu'l-Baha).

On Abdu'l-Baha's authority given to Him, He was also designated as the only "Interpreter" of Baha'u'llah's Writings, "“ … refer ye whatsoever ye understand not in the Book to Him Who hath branched from this mighty Stock.”

So Abdu'l-Baha, being the person ALL (including Muhammad Ali) must turn their faces to and accept his decisions as well as his interpretations, can choose to do whatever he likes and his wishes are Baha'u'llahs wishes. End of story DBT.

If Baha'u'llah writes Muhammad Ali to succeed Abdu'-Baha, then Abdu'-Baha as the designated interpreter and the person ALL must face first and foremost, can fulfill that desire or not. His wish is Baha'u'llahs wish. Full stop DBT.

This proves that Abdu'l-Baha who is the official "Baha'i institution" as you like to put it was not "fallible" because he carried forward the exact authority of his Father.

As for this source of DBT intelligence:

I encourage you to actually read the Will and Testament of Abdu'l-Baha before you listen to amoebic thinking. There is no "or another branch"....its explicit in saying "lineal descendant".
