You have got to be kidding me.
We can't even pin you down on what doctrine is and now you want to throw in a separate category of canon?
Since canon is a sub-category of doctrine, I don't understand why BC Space thinks the OP is confused.

I've said it before, but I think Nephites would be amazed at how we've figured out how to keep spectacles on our eyes without attaching them to giant metal breastplates.
Old Testament scholarship on the Urim and Thummim recognizes the use of the breastplate.
Oh, ok. I think Nephites and Old Testament folk would be amazed at how we've figured out how to keep spectacles on our eyes without attaching them to giant metal breastplates.

I love how BC Space uses the Bible to defend the weird things in Mormonism, as if the things in the Bible are totally normal.

By bcspaces method of defining doctrine I think it may be fair to say that whilst not 'canon' in the strictest sense of the word, they are certainly the official doctrinal position on how the Book of Mormon came into being.
Yes. The OP seems to be confusing canon and doctrine.
No. It is not the OP, it is You (or the Doctrine Of The Church, whatever it is).
