I'm not familiar enough with its evolution to say, and if someone's interested in researching it, then by all means. I'm sure it would be fascinating to see how it has changed and the forces that drove it.
Where I separate myself is when research turns up an earlier view/teaching/policy and the researcher concludes, "
This is how it should be today."

Regardless, I think the fact that there isn't a "laundry list" is very purposeful. Some people long for such a list, but I think it would be a huge mistake.

I agree. That's the last thing I'd like to see.
