1. This is how many Imams were are supposed to be, and preventing arguments between the Islmalis, Twelvers and Zaidis.
2. Which people are the correct Imams to submit to.
3. If Aga Khan IV is somebody worth paying attention to.
The Shia faith -as with the Sunni faith- actually view the Quran as an inferior book that needs a support by the large volumes of Hadith; the faiths won't say it explicitly, but the sentence "the Hadith explains the quran" is in itself; just saying what I said now with a more "polite" way.
So, it's very legit for the believers of that faith, to adopt a thought even if it's not mentioned in the source, just because some scholars wrote that and said so.
and the difference between twelvers and zaidis is also a good point.
