For me, these academic discussions are interesting (like a hobby), but have nothing to do with my faith or lack thereof.
So yes, I'm completely satisfied with that answer.

For me to understand what I don't understand, I first try to understand the parameters. It seems a basic understanding that Mormon theology posits ongoing revelation.
The miraculous revelations occurred during the time of Joseph Smith. Brigham Young bemoaned his lack of visionary insights.
There is also the warning for us to beware if miracles and revelations among us cease.
My question is more about what to anticipate, will we always be the same?
I think not, and Solon's observations are interesting. We've actually moved from a dynamic, faith infused, revelatory body to a static, correlated, administrative body with little or no imagination. Perhaps we don't need imagination or faith.
