I do not think it's a matter of getting worked up, not in any
way. Just wondering what is the reason behind enlightenment's
(and not awakening's) career in Buddhology.  The choice between
the two was always there. Why "being in the presence of light"
was (and still is, with some exceptions) considered better than
"being awake"?

What light?
