The Buddha can't bring himself to teach inferior ways to enlightenment. But I'm getting the impression that these inferior paths are more widely acceptable, and they might still prepare someone for the true dharma? I'm not sure the Buddha would agree with me.

No! This is not true. Buddhism teaches about "skill in means". You meet people where they are.
@neia Years ago a Buddhist monk told me that the core of the Dharma was the 4 noble truths and the 8 fold path, and that everything else, the Buddha gave for those who didn't or wouldn't understand.
I thought I knew what he meant, now I wonder if this is what he meant?
