How sloppy of you.
I believe he's using Mormonspeak, which is not empirical speech.
When he says the Lord has chosen, it includes within that subset, I took a name to the Lord after acquainting myself with persons and considering the possibilities, and he confirming by a burning that such selection was acceptable.
I'm merely translating. It's those who accept Mormonspeak at face value who are convenient and in denial. There is nothing empirical in the manner in which Mormons speak, and nothing we say is meant to be taken literally, when we are speaking in that manner.
