It's not the ice floating in the water that you worry about. It's the massive chunk of ice it is attached to that is below water that you can't see.
Opinion leaders who know very little about Mormon doctrine are going to be exposed to little known facts about Mormonism.
It's sort of like Mormonism in the black community. Many blacks will tell you that they have heard that Mormonism isn't friendly to blacks, but they can't tell you exactly why, or what led to that.
Right now we have a situation where it is actually non general authorities who are informing members about the truth regarding these events, with not that much cooperation from general authorities. For example the Kimball biography with some of the juicier elements cut out and only on the CD. Now we know the history of the lifting of the ban was very much more complicated than simply a prayer in the temple.
Transparency cures many ills.
