Good point. Get away from their excess verbiage and clearly define it.
It is about a CHANGE in doctrine. In otherwords, it is a tacit admission that a former (and often harmful) doctrine was flat-out WRONG.
In their subtle admission of wrongness, it seems to me they always framed in as "some have gone ahead and wrongly interpreted (or tried to put a date on)." They NEVER seemed to say "WE were wrong," it was the R&F or unnamed "some."Gr-r-r-r.pat
