And then someone comes onto a newsgroup and says, "no LDS currently in
good standing has ever taught that."

It reminds me of the joke about how many LDS does it take to change a
lightbulb at the ward building (11-14):
2 Relief Society Ladies to bring refreshments while the priesthood
changes the bulb
3 Deacons to set the chairs up and then take them down and put them
away
5 Elders assigned to the task because only two will actually show up
and they'll argue about who is going to climb up the ladder and who is
to hold the ladder.
1 FARMs scholar to draw extremely subjective and tenuous parallels
between the changing of the lightbulb and obscure ancient sources which
would have been rejected out of hand had they been used by critics
3 FARMs scholars to deny that the lightbulb ever needed to be replaced
and to intimate that anyone who suggests otherwise has serious personal
morality problems.
