My question is: If "The Covenant" is such an important concept to Baha'u'llah, then why does it only exist in abstract form? Why didn't Baha'u'llah just write a single verse making clear that the UHJ is infallible? Why do you need to show a bunch of bits and pieces of Baha'u'llah's writings from different tablets together, supplemented by additional "context" (e.g. "Muhammad Ali was warned!"), in order to convince people of this alleged "Covenant" concept?
Unitarian Baha'is don't rely on any kind of complex abstraction in order to justify their position. If someone asks a Unitarian Baha'i why they believe Muhammad Ali succeeded Abdul Baha, they just show the verse "Verily, God hath ordained the station of the Greater Branch after the station of the former. Verily, He is the Ordainer, the Wise. We have surely chosen the Greater after the Greatest as a Command from the All-Knowing, the Omniscient!", which is ironically from Baha'u'llah's "Book of my Covenant".
