IZAWA states 'That is to say, if 'the Jodoshu sect misled the Hokkeshu sect by the word "the fourth Myo in Hoza"' as the Hokkeshu sect claimed, the Hokkeshu sect should have insisted that the word made no sense so that they could not understand the question during the debate, but in reality, they did not do that, which meant they did not deny the word as "sham term."
すなわち、もしこの発言が従来より法華宗側が言っている「浄土宗側が卑怯な手を使った」のであれば、法華宗側はその場において「方座第四の『妙』」を意味不明・解釈不能であるという態度を徹底的に貫かねばならず、それをしなかった法華宗側は『造り名目』でないことを認めてしまったことになる。
