In considering that, how coincidental is it that most of the extreme pseudo-Christian cults in mainland China apparently came out of the Shouters sect? And notice that some of them apparently used Lee's more outrageous statements as their foundational premises.

All cults have a "we-they" type of mindset, we have the truth, they don't.
Witness Lee's outrageous, provocative, inflammatory statements were those that built the "they don't have the truth" side of the argument.
His caveats, qualifiers and special definitions all demonstrate, not that he has the truth or that the doctrine is sound, but that he knows that his statements, on the surface are blasphemous, heretical, and abominable. He is a false prophet, not because the doctrine is false, but because he is false.
