I suppose that I need to go back to my original posts to see whether or
not I said that CFP editors were elitists. Now, that would be an instance
of going back to the *primary text* to see if claims about the primary
text by the *seconday text* (Bob) were accurate. This is why I think
people should refer to primaries (not necessarily the same as "canon")
*in addition to* secondaries. Often, secondaries are not accurate. Think
of your students who like to talk about what the Bible says without
consulting the text.
