It seems to me that Nigel's underlying concern with this and some of his other articles is how Witness Lee and the LSM do their hermeneutic work. He's just using their handling of these verses as another example. It might be construed as nitpicking by some as you mention. But IMHO his concern is legitimate because they elevate Witness Lee's writings above the Bible and so their hermeneutic work is colored by that filter and has to be unpacked and reconsidered by those like Tomes who have the time and heart to do so.
