- The interesting idea is introduced that there may be a "pride cycle" operating within the organization of the church. It may be worth investigating whether the Church is analogous enough to a government to support its own "Secular Cycle" from Structural Demographic Theory, or some other similar cultural cycle. It seems plausible.
- It is also worth noting that despite her supposed study of early Mormon polygamy, her comments manifest great ignorance of fundamental principles of marriage, or at least, a surprising failure to apply those principles. This problem, however, seems to be very common. People seem very interested in studying polygamy to learn about it, but seem to skip over a real study of how the Lord looks at marriage, and hence, miss the foundational principles that are needed to make sense of the history.
