The LC has never respected contemporaries, because doing so would make Lee one of many, instead of one of a kind. But by dissing the present for the past they made themselves into anachronisms. First it made them look strange. Then it made them look backward. Now it makes them look ignorant.
Now they are in limbo. Their whole culture is built on Biblical study ideas that are no longer respected. Sooner or later they are going to have to become humble and say, uh, we have some adjustments to make. They can't just keep doing the Don Quixote forever. Even Sancho Panza is going to get bored and leave.
The current joke of our YouTube-driven age is that everyone thinks history started twelve minutes ago. The LC thinks history started with Lee, and ended with him.
