What you're suggesting is called siddhanta, which is also meant to

explicate our guiding principles, objectively. Differences of opinion

that are authoritative may differ in details, but never in principles. We

won't find anyone who disagrees with the basic principles Prabhupada taught

also maintaining a strict and logical adherence to standard Gaudiya Vaisnava

siddhanta. I've seen that one who says or implies we can invariably won't

even try to substantiate that notion with reference to our books, probably

because s/he actually already knows s/he can't. Such people are simply

unauthoritative, if not worse. Of course, there's no need to mention any

names here. ;-)

Maybe that's by someone's design, rather than chance.
