Exactly!
Why did Lee use the pagan holiday of Chinese New Year to preach the gospel, but the LC's were basically forbidden from applying the same principle to Christmas and Easter, and using those holidays to also preach the gospel.
That's why Lee's teachings are so suspect. Only he gets to apply them when suitable for his plans. That is, by definition, hypocrisy: Do what I say, but not what I do!
I have seen this apply to so many areas of LSM. They frequently violated the principles laid down for others to follow, but it was OK because it was Lee, who alone can "see things we could not."
