That's not doctrine, changes often, and is inconsequential. Everything else is pretty much spot-on. They got a few minor things wrong. Like that Kolob is technically the star near the place God dwells, not the actual place he dwells. So what? That's just splitting hairs.
Then they say, "yah huh there were 11 witnesses!" Yes there were. Many of whom recanted and most admitted they never saw the plates with their physical eyes. You can find it in their damn journals. They saw them in a vision with "spiritual eyes." If you're going to correct the history correct it with the whole story else you're no more credible.
Anyway I think the spin department is having a hard time coming up with a good way to spin this one. Look at how many likes the BoM Musical has compared to dislikes on YouTube.
No publicity is bad publicity? I doubt Weiner, Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon, OJ Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, or the late Michael Jackson would agree with that. There is very much such a thing as bad publicity.
