Actually, when Lee heard this kind of speaking was going around he vehemently put a stop to it (from what I heard). So no, the LSM literature will never make such claims for Lee.
But he consistently and deliberately built a climate which fostered such statements. He built a system in which the route to the top was through loudly and repeatedly making outrageously positive statements about the person and work of Witness Lee. That was one's ticket to the top. Promote Lee and you got promoted. That's how the network got built.
So the idea of "taking the last seat at the banquet feast" was ignored. It wasn't consistent with Chinese cultural practice, and therefore it wasn't helpful to the cause, the network-building process.
