I sense a full-blown metaphor coming on. Something like the forest for the trees, maybe? The dangers of parallelisms? Or is it just as simple as coincidental side fittings do not a puzzle match make?

I’ve got it.

Whenever a side piece matches coincidentally, reality reveals an edge piece that doesn’t.

You guys are silly! The person in the photo obviously has his/her hands spread apart so the pieces look like they don't fit when they obviously do, when looked at properly. It reminds me of Kuhn and paradigms ... and maybe Alma 32? (Where is Kevin Christensen to solve the problem???) Anyway, you anti's obviously are in the wrong paradigm. Your anti paradigm is in the theater next door with all of the people who practice alternative lifestyles, claiming biology made them how they are.

I hope not. The metaphor is too perfect.

The Plan of Salvation

The plan of salvation is the divine program that sets out the way to return to God’s presence and become more like Him so we might experience a fulness of joy. It reveals our divine origin and destiny. The author of this plan is God the Father.

Here he appears to be behind the times (and wrong). The Church has moved to calling it The Plan Of Happiness because everyone achieves Salvation regardless of their religious beliefs or religious sect association. According to Mormon doctrine, salvation doesn't mean returning to God's presence. He's conflating salvation and exaltation.
