However, it was done 1) for ideological reasons, not to actually correct
any of the obviously ridiculous stuff and 2) while pretending that it's
all still literally God's word (and believing it).

It's like if someone took C99 and removed, say, designated initializers,
because they just don't like them, and then preached that their version
of the document is still ISO 9899:1999, with people believing it and
spreading the falsified document along with that claim that it is
still the word of the ISO committee.
