It seems here you've gotten off the topic of whether the Bible plus the Pope and the Magisterium meets the test by which you say the Bible by itself fails, and replaced it with the standard anti-Protestant polemic of insulting Luther.

Let's posit he did misunderstand pretty fundamental things. The Bible plus the Pope and the Magisterium and Tradition didn't prevent it.

LOL. Nice try. You raised the tangent, not me. I try to answer your query, and now it's my fault we are on your tangent? Give me a break.

And quoting Luther on a doctrinal issue is "the standard anti-Protestant polemic of insulting Luther"? I had no idea that was verbotten. Is quoting Luther on his doctrinal statements always considered an insult by Lutherans and/or other Protestants? Or just his statements that repudiate Lutheran/Protestant doctrines? What about Luther's statements that contain logical fallacies? Is there some cheatsheet somewhere that lists what I am allowed to quote and what I shouldn't quote? A little help here would be appreciated.

There's no need to posit. Luther admitted it.

The Bible plus the Pope and the Magisterium and Tradition didn't prevent it.

Didn't prevent Luther from making an error? Never claimed it did. Never claimed it should. Never claimed it would. That nasty ol' free will business is always letting individuals go astray.
