Yes, but communicated to large groups over looooong periods of time. That is not necessary right night, increasing efficiency to broadcasting a message. Hence the "Golden Age" tag here.
Maybe. The other argument would be that since cult leaders can spread it fast counter movements can also attack fast. Plus since there is more information in the system the counters are more readily available. Pretty easy to convert some illiterates near starvation level of your magic man, lot harder to convince people who have Aristotle.
