The Baha'i Studies Listserv For one thing, the Dawnbreakers is sort of a hagiographical account of the mission of the Bab'. Not everything written in it is meant to be an exact, unbiased account of everything that went down in the Babi Movement. Secondly, even if that story was exactly true I don't see it as that big of a deal. I see a child who couldn't stay silent in school despite promising his uncle that he wouldn't talk. I don't think it implies that the Bab' could not be trusted later in life because he once disobeyed his uncle when he was six or seven years old.
