The effects of Nee/Lee creating such a standard are devastating. Nee presumably had read most of the Christian books of his era, so it's understandable that no one thought to question his ability to summarize everything. It's not like everyone was that ambitious to read anything and everything, or to fill their room with books so that the couldn't walk anywhere.
How are you supposed to challenge someone who claims to have read everything? Lee went on to say something to the effect of "since 1949 there hasn't been a weighty spiritual book published." So LCers are pretty much stuck in a time warp of at least 65 years ago.
When will they learn? Does it take the better half of a century for them to realize that both Nee and Lee are old news? Given the amount of time that has passed, there's been plenty of time to reinvent the wheel within the LC. They are stubborn. Too stubborn to admit that this isn't the early or mid 1900's.
