A carta de 1848 por Hiram Page não estava disponível para o público até o século 20. Como resultado, as respostas diversas LDS para os relatos por Whitmer e McLellin de necessidade deve explicar por que a revelação anômala aparente não faz de Joseph Smith, um profeta caído. Tal foi o caso quando B.H. Roberts manifestou dúvidas quanto à exatidão da história, e sugeriu que David Whitmer pode não ter se lembrado de todos os detalhes corretamente, mas passou a abordar a reivindicação de qualquer maneira. Roberts concluiu:
Does that circumstance vitiate his claim as a prophet? No; the fact remains that despite this circumstance there exists a long list of events to be dealt with which will establish the fact of divine inspiration operating upon the mind of this man Joseph Smith. The wisdom frequently displayed, the knowledge revealed, the predicted events and the fulfilment thereof, are explicable upon no other theory than of divine inspiration giving guidance to him. [1]
As it happens, the passage of time and the uncovering of additional information has vindicated that confidence.
