Well, for them at least.
Continuing on the subject of nuttiness. If you were going to set up a business, or school, or any operation, would you put in the by-laws the following:
"Once we establish the rules and parameters of this operation, they can never be changed or questioned. We cannot adapt to new information, realizations or experiences, because we are assuming there can never be any that are relevant. If we, the founders, pass on, then these rules will be that much more set in stone and can never be questioned, forever and ever. Anyone who does question them or this resolution will themselves be put in question."
Can you imagine
any operation having
any long-term success with such an attitude? But that's EXACTLY the attitude of the LCs. Just nutty.
