I'm as confused, I think, as Hsueh Tao must have been by Te Shan's behavior. I can only imagine him thinking "what in the world..." Or maybe, he's seen this before and was thinking "not one of these jokers again".
"Exposed" - certainly Te Shan didn't hide anything with his actions; sometimes people show themselves for exactly who they are in that moment (now, whether Te Shan is a fool in EVERY moment, I don't know).
Jundo's proposed scenarios beg the question for me: is Te Shan enlightened, or a fool? Why not both?
