Quantum,
This is a very interesting discussion, no? I am equally confused on other topics that fall within this same general theme of contradiction... (see my 'Why do you believe?' and 'Pyramid' threads for more details on my recent confusions).
In thinking about this and other "problems", I have lately been thinking on the lines that TLOO as a complete work, although of purest intent, has some percentage of distortion that is causing those of us who like to boil down all interesting details to run in to contradiction. For the more casual reader (if they exist) they may breeze over such things as the Oahspe reference, or think further on pyramid construction and time line details, rouge bigfoot(s), etc. I mention this recent train of though of mine because I feel it may make more sense and may be safer in reasoning than to produce reasons why faulty information could be plausible... Opting for a simpler reason instead of creating more elaborate explanations, if I may be so bold and to follow in your foot path as a TLOO heretic. We must question all things, I completely agree. And perhaps especially so in the field of esoterica.
So I submit, perhaps the nod to Oahspe in TLOO was distortion. Perhaps it was unitended bad information. And I only submit it as an easier explanation, not necessarily the true, undeniable or final verdict on the matter. And I don't mean to just create an easy way out of a paradox rather than perhaps employ the use of Occam's Razor.
I would also differentiate my use of the word distortion from de-tuning in this case, because the question about Oahspe to Ra, from Don, does not seem like the type of transient or proof based or fear based / conspiracy based questioning that would cause de-tuning of a contact such as Ra's. Distortion here must simply be an unknown percentage of bad connection between Ra and Don via the telepathic exchange, that is inherent to that exchange.. Unless it could be argued that the contact was 100% accurate at all times? Certainly this can't be so.
Well, I could go on speculating, but what do you think?
