With just enough slip ups over the last nearly 200 years to make it really interesting for the Mormon apologists.
I can imagine an apologist starting to read an account of a typical Brigham Young sermon, and internally screaming to himself, "SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!" after the first paragraph.
And you raise a good point about deeming certain records secret, there definitely is a pattern to it that clearly shows the LDS administration is aware of the shifting sands their faith is resting upon.
Curious too, how many times over the decades an item that has turned up with uncertain provenance and the Mormon hierarchy declares it a forgery, only to later grudgingly admit they had the provenance in their own records and knew all along the disputed item was in fact genuine.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
