No, you've misstated the axiom. Correctly stated it is: There is only one correct answer regarding questions about The Church: the one that agrees with MY interpretation of The Church.
Misstated again. More correctly stated:
There is only one correct answer regarding questions about The Church: the one that agrees with statements by The Church.
... even when those statements conflict.
Especially when those statements conflict.

Then you take the latest date accoridng to the principle of continuing revelation. Of course, much of what gets presented as a conflict often turns out to be no conflict at all.
Of course, just saying. Things do conflict. Doctrines do change. That is, after all, the beauty of continuing revelation.

I've yet to see a doctrinal change that results in a conflict. The LoF debate for example. "Personage of spirit" does indeed show an absence of body but doesn't preclude it. So as far as we we know (because of the possibility of continuing revelation) God does not have a physical body. Now we know he does. If there were a conflict, having a spirit and a body would somehow be incompatible.

Well, we've had this discussion before. The LofF seem to accord with the First Vision as two-personed deity, whereas the later development had the shared "mind" of God as a personage. But we disagree. Big deal.

Yet in the surrounding text, it is three that make up the Godhead, not two, thus making "Mind" more likely to be a function or a name-title.

I don't read it at all that way.
It's a pretty big deal if one of us is correct.
Not really. It might be a big deal if the church were actually true.
