I look forward to seeing your argument, as it does not appear to me that what
you posit is possible. As you will well know a rule of Biblical interpretation
is to ask to whom is the passage written. In this case the answer is it is
written to one seeking to be a disciple/follower of Jesus. Though sincere in
his seeking, the cost of such was too high for him and he was unsuccessful.
Hence the application would be to those seeking to become disciples/followers
of Jesus, who would be met with the cost of discipleship and their success or
failure in such dependant on whether they are prepared to pay such a price. 

Thanks
M.Bell
