I respect your position though I do not agree. It is true that some things can only be speculated upon. But if a vast majority of scholars take up a certain view, shouldn't that be indication that there might be some validity to that position?
It seems WL liked to take up different views than everyone else. This was part of the "recovery" mindset. Maybe some of what he said had merit, but certainly there were things that didn't.
What I think could be agreed upon is that LSM's insistance upon the exclusive use of the RcV has created a problem. The problem of translation bias is easily mitigated by using multiple versions. Whether 'Jehovah' or 'Yahweh' is correct, LSM's argument has nothing to do with that, it's about supporting WL.
Frankly speaking, having used the RcV for so long, it's a bit of a relief to see 'LORD' instead of 'Jehovah'. I don't know why, maybe it just doesn't feel like a certain dogma is being promoted.
