A rejection of a doctrine arrived at systematically is to reject the system by which it was derived. What is your critique of the systematic approach?
I reasonably reject it. It's no different than taking War and Peace, extracting sentences from unrelated paragraphs in different chapters and then cobbling them together to create justification for a wholesale new idea all the while asserting with authority that Tolstoy was the author of the new creation. It's rather silly.
