One of teh hilarious ideas sometimes expounded in Buddhanetland is teh belief that someone could attain say sottapattimagga (or any other path moment) but sottapattiphala comes much later, even years later!!

Sekhassa sikkha­mānassa,

khayasmiṃ pañhamaṃ ñāṇaṃ,

tato aññā anantarā.

"To the learner, learning

In pursuit of the straight path,

First comes the knowledge of destruc­tion

And then immediately the certitude."
