I've developed a strong preference to pluralize the word Buddhism(s) when discussing it. It's such a common error by many people not familiar with it to assume there is a central sect or authority or even unifying narrative behind it where there is not one.

Not so much an example of perennialism, but of assuming that all of the Buddhim should be the same.
Good distinction here Joogipupu. I should have been clearer so as to not get perennialism mixed up with the sort of thing you're talking about here; assuming all of Buddhism - or any particular type of 'ism' - should be the same, which is a different move, you're right.
