to me this fits very neatly within a very easily used controll mechanism of guilt. Using diversions such as this, it can help to maintain the idea, that as long as your not following these supposed "easy principles", you cannot be expected to understand the harder ones. Misdirecting people in this fashion is both an easy cop out, and it also keeps people in line over things that come completely naturaly to people.

that's kinda why when i learned methodology on how to curb the thinking process and how well tied in it was to the teaching of the doctrine, that i was able to seperate the two to make my own decision on things rather than just following out of guilt. Only afterwards of leaving did i find out about the historical and other issues plagueing Mormonism.
