I had this conversation with my son about a year ago, where he was justifying all the details of the Star Wars franchise. He was making connections and rationalizations for things like how the force worked a certain way in one of the movies but didn't work that way in other movies. Stuff like that, to the end that the mistakes made in the movies had some nice tidy way of all working into the story in a cohesive way. I kept reminding him that its just a story that George Lucas came up with. He even uses phrases like "official canon" etc. He was just having fun being a Star Wars geek, its a bit of a fun puzzle and makes the movies more enjoyable for him.
Now a days when I read FAIR, it feels no different. They are just being Mormon Geeks. Finding obscure ways to make it all work because its a fun puzzle and makes church more enjoyable for them. I feel like saying "Dude, that's awesome you found a way to make it work, but you know its just a story that Joseph Smith came up with."
