Since Witness Lee is responsible for, at a minimum, hundreds of lies that are in my brain, it is important to me to discern what he got wrong so I don't believe lies anymore. But what he got right is disconnected from the fact that he taught it. It's kind of like the "a broken clock is right twice a day". Who cares? It's broken. It should be thrown out, and bring in a new clock that is right all day long instead. Witness Lee's ministry is, as far as I'm concerned, a broken system of error masquerading as an angel of light, to mix some New Testament metaphors, and it is not to Witness Lee's credit if he happened to miss the chance at twisting something and actually got it right now and then.

Maybe this distinction isn't a big enough one for some people, and that's okay. It's enough for me.

I think we all would agree with this. If a friend asked me a question about some topic in The Bible, I would never point them to the teachings of WL, even if his teaching on the topic was helpful. It’s just too risky.
