Yes, but aren't the statements more than 30 years old?

Maybe I missed something, but are we suddenly trying to debunk Alma 5? Bringing up the 30-150 year old topics is almost invariably with the purpose of trying to show how wrong/uninspired/racist/stupid/unlearned/evil/naive/ignorant past church leaders were.
