And therefore the Vorlons are irrelevant.

You seem to be arguing something like, "All the beings who witnessed
the event drew the same conclusions, and never changed their minds,
even after they found out that Sheridan's rescuer was Kosh." That

That it was Kosh and that the Vorlons had been up to that sort of

expressly shown Sheridan and Delenn doing this, it is hard to imagine
how or why they could kept it a secret after Corianna VI.
