From the vertical perspective, Numbers 13:

Can you expound on co-reality? The link you provided doesn't work for me.

I'm not sure I believe both are true. I suspect that the original idea came from the people. Moses thought it was a reasonable idea, and God didn't say anything otherwise, so it was seemed compatible with God's leadership, and thus it got written down as coming from the Lord.

But that is just my guess.
