It really matters what the prophet is wrong about. For example, racism in the church does much more harm than prohibiting visual aides. Yet according to the model it is rational and appropriate to just go along with both. This is where the model fails.

The question is how do any of us really know that the prophet has been wrong on polygamy and Prop 8? Has God authoritatively weighed in on this?
