Of course mormons are aware of this - and it just goes to show the bipolar nature of mormon belief. I'll bet most anything that SD along with other mormons were glued to their tv/computers during the recent general conference - waiting to hear what the latest revelation from 'god' would be uttered. Were mormons to be consistent - they would have paid less attention because these people were only giving their "opinions".
Just as it was abundantly clear that bring'em young taught as DOCTRINE the Adam/God, others taught other 'doctrines' that modern lds reject as opinions. They refuse to face the fact then that by downgrading those 'doctrines' to 'personal opinions' they've also designated those prophets and apostles as false teachers and false prophets.
Follow the prophet - he will never lead you astray is the matra, except of course that their 'false teachings' (as defined by modern lds as 'opinions') lead you astray.
Not just the old PROPHETS leading you astray; but just try following MORMON scripture (D&C 132) That'll get you EXCOMMUNICATED!!!
