I was remembering Ed Decker explaining that Joseph Smith arbitrarily edited bits all over the Bible. He was explaining this as a problem in the context of that warning from Revelation, when a Mormon pointed out that it was strictly about the book of Revelation, so Ed simply rolled out a list of edits that were made to Revelation.
I didn't piece it together at the time (yesterday). I think I was responding to the supposed case where "someone" thinks it means that, or not, but parent didn't actually say that so it doesn't really matter. I think I strawmanned a thing for no real raisin and I think it's because I'm violating my own warning: someone else's stupidity is a profoundly stupid thing to concentrate on / obsess over. And IRL I'm surrounded. But that's never an excuse... that I consciously & voluntarily got myself into this situation is already a bad sign.
