I think Tomes enjoys studying and learning this kind of thing and would do it even if he was not applying it to the LCM. In doing so he inevitably comes across some new, interesting subject that Lee and LSM (those knowers of all that is knowable) were duh about. And so he, by producing an epic, unassailable case for the subject, effectively makes the LSM braintrust look like the bunch of dummies that they are. To the point that even the faithful cannot disagree. They can ignore, but they can't disagree.

The point is not that the Synoptic Problem is something that every Christian needs to know about. It's that it is something that everyone who truly wants a complete understanding of the Bible (i.e. people who create new translations and write study bibles and claim to be ministers of the age) ought to want to know about. Lee and LSM didn't, which shows they weren't and aren't truly serious students of the Bible. They were and are more interested in maintaining their reputations than getting it right.

It's just one more reason to believe that they aren't what they claim(ed) to be, and you can't get too many of those if you were ever under their influence.
