“Translating the Bible depends not only on an adequate comprehension of the original language but also on a proper understanding of the divine revelation in the holy Word...The consummation of this understanding forms the basis of this translation and its footnotes.” (A brief explanation, NT RV Revised Edition 1991)

The problem here is "proper understanding." That is presumed by the writers of that statement to be Lee and his minions and no one else.
It is a claim of special understanding that allows them to further claim that their interpretation is correct even where it stands in contrast to the actual text of scripture in its original language.
