&gt; <i>You can&#x27;t use modern value judgements unless you want a dissonant argument</i><p><i>This is my whole point</i>! It&#x27;s dissonant. There is no point in holding to the purist ideals of a document, if the authors themselves wrote it to ignore the invconvenient facts of life. Some people talk of the authors like they&#x27;re some sort of demigods, and therefore any of their utterances are uncontestable. Highlighting dissonance like this is important it countering this trend.
