Well, at the risk of answering my own question after loudly asking it of others, I think Gloranthans _do_ sometimes ask of themselves such questions, and indeed answer them, on an assortment of bases; perhaps the strongest option ever available to Gloranthans themselves is 'goddess switch' types of test, or wheezes involving testing 'inter-operability' initiation, a sticky wicket on which Greg has been occassionally lured into a tentative forward defensive prod on. (I can only recall him answering these hypothetically: _if_ gods X and Y were the same, would an initiate of X be able to worship at a temple of Y, even if Y's worshippers didn't recognise the identity.) My original question was motivated by wondering, which if any of them would come into play in the case mooted?

All IMO, clearly...
Cheers,
