So if they abandon an Italian restaurant that bills itself as the "one and only true Italian restaurant on the face of the earth" (your parallel as applied to Mormon Doctrine & Covenants 1:30), they wouldn't be an "apostate" to true Italian restaurant food, after all? That would just be a religious myth made up wholesale by that Italian restaurant Inc?
They really could get true Italian restaurant food apart from that restaurant chain? And that Italian restaurant "bible" of how to run a restaurant chain...it just flat out lied in its D&C 1:30 equivalency passage? Which means the restaurant founder was a false Italian restaurant "prophet" -- all because he wanted to just market his own chain?
“That’s like saying I’m investigating spaghetti as an alternative to Italian food.

The LDS church would be the one and only restaurant serving the entire Italian food menu available today. You may choose to patronize a restaurant that only serves spaghetti or pizza etc.
