I just want to dissent from this, as many others do.
The idea of the Aorist as a "one-time event" is a
description I find far more inaccurate than just about
any other term you could assign to it. I would equally
reject if someone where to say that it is "not a
one-time event." How many 'times' the action or event
took/takes place has no relationship to the Aorist, or
any other tense.
