And he himself publicly proclaimed it. His dressing down of the Pharisees in Matthew 23 was as public and intense a condemnation as you will ever see here. The Lord himself is our example. Paul carried on the practice of condemning hypocrites in his letters.

Nope but a nice try.
I don't accept your interpretation either because you ignore the context of both Luke 10 and Matt 12 in favor of a private interpretation and it contradicts Paul's teaching on handling a dispute between brothers.
Anytime the scripture is forced into a private interpretation it will conflict with other scriptures which will then need to be ignored if the appearance of compatibility is of interest.
The whole shout-on-the-rooftops-when-settling-disputes-with-brothers-theory fails when Luke 12+Matt 10 and Paul's teaching are brought together. In fact, Luke 12 and Matt 10 have nothing to do with settling disputes with brothers. For that we must look elsewhere. That is why the theory fails.
