you are right, the rebbi – navi fallacy is widespread within habad
but toally non existent within normative judaism
this fallacy has a clear source ,
the navi himself, crowned himself , in dvar malhut shoftim 5751
and all hasidim ‘proved’ his nevua from the very same dvar malhut
and then challenged the reasonable world to disprove
something which was proven and already established as fact
as a result of the above
the following habad generations are raised to believe , with their mother’s milk
that the tekufat hanevu’a ended with the shloshe asar
instead of [as known to all jews of the last few millenia] , the trei asar
there is hagai , zeharya , malachi and menachem mendel.
all because of the dvar malhut of shoftim 5751 ….
