Well, you almost got it right.
Every time a President/Prophet has a revelation, incorrect doctrines gleaned from wrong and/or misunderstood interpretations of the Bible which arose during a time when it was universally acknowledged that God was calling no prophets have to be discarded.
Unless, of course, you value ink on paper more than a living oracle of God. When it comes to the Bible, you're in the Ed McMahon camp: whenever Johnny Carson (or, more likely, his writers) would come up with some printed topical matter that could by used as the premise for a comedy routine, you believed and openly proclaimed that the ink and paper in Johnny's hand obviously contained everything that could possibly ever be said regarding the topic; that the original author of the premise-piece had exhaustively researched the matter, and that everything that we would or could ever want or need to know about the topic at hand had been touched upon by the author. "No doubt", Ed would triumphantly postulate at the end of the set-up, "everything there is to know on this topic is in that article!"
Johnny's answer, of course, always went something like this: "Wrong, moose-breath! It just so happens that we've come up with some information that the author of this fine piece of writing managed to leave out."
To which Ed would incredulously respond, "What?!? There's more?!?"
When it comes to the absolute completeness and correctness of the Bible, Latter-day Saints find themselves to be in Johnny's camp. There's more: more to know, more to do.
It's just the way it is.

The point is ... a living oracle of God would have to have some pretty impressive credentials.
Think about it. What is there about Joseph (i.e. who he was, what he did, what he said, etc.) that modern-day christians should believe that he is an oracle from God.
Why Joseph and not Rev. Sung Yung Moon?
Why Joseph and not David Koresh?
Why Joseph and not Jim Jones?
Why should we believe Joseph?
