What do you mean with "unable to be stopped" by any other?

And why would that even if it was true mean he had found the "true" usage of the Thu'um?

The Thu'um is a sybol of all Nords connection to Kyne, it is clearly not supposed to only be used by like 7 people when every single Nord can learn it with comparative ease compared to other Races.

No, the fact that the other teachings died out only serves as evidence on how demoralized the Nords were at the time and how Jurgen the coward utilized that to pray on them and steal their heritafe away from them by claiming the Thu'um had been "misused".

But why would the Thu'um's usage be supposed to be so limited (to like 7 people)?

It is just clearly wrong on it's own. by 'unable to be stopped' I mean that anyone who challenged his voice was shouted down.

he found the true purpose for the voice and doing so hightened his mastery far above any of the other nords.

As I said, it wasn't just Jurgen saying 'hey, this is how we're supposed to use the voice' then all the nords saying 'okay.'

they challenged his way, and they were shot down with his true mastery of the voice, he was able to master the voice through his connection to Kyne, while everyone else was using what little they could learn of the voice for their own personal gain.

and the voice isn't limited to '7 people' it's limited to the people who can connect to the teachings, the fact that so few are able to join is a shame to the nords, they do not care for the teachings enough to truley master the thuum.

If they so wanted the nords of old could have easily taught their children their own voice; Jurgen didn't steal their voice, he showed them the right way and those who didn't/couldn't join him fell off the path.
