That is the LC logic.

Right, and as I've said in other ways, you can either think Lee was an apostle who should not be questioned, or you can objectively analyze his teachings. But you cannot do both. The only way to objectively analyze what Lee taught is to assume he was not such an apostle. Otherwise, the psychological pressure to agree with him will interfere with your reasoning ability.
This fact, by the way, is a sound reason to refrain from bestowing "apostle" status on any Christian since the earliest age of the church.
