Transitory distortion

[DynamicBri]

64.1 ▶ Questioner: Could you first tell me the condition of the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. It is as previously stated with the exception of a transitory distortion lessening the free flow of vital energy.

64.2 ▶ Questioner: Can you tell what the transitory distortion is?

Ra: I am Ra. This is marginal information.

here is my train of thought:
1. transitory and transient are pretty identical in meaning.
2. Ra implies that transient information affects the quality of the channel. (37.4). I've also heard Carla speak about this effect to quite an extent in her lectures.
3. "Marginal information" is pretty much the same as "transient information" if by marginal one means "of secondary or minor importance; not central."
4. So if this sort of information affects the contact/channel quality, it seems plausible that it will affect Carla in some way (in this case, her vital energy).

What do you think? Is Ra telling Don that his transient line of questioning is affecting Carla's vital energy?

Edit: This has been clarified in 64.4.
