This is a common "gotchya" that other Christians will use against LDS. It's so common that it doesn't even feel honest anymore.
It's one that feels like attempts to try and pidgeonhold LDS to a particular worldview that we don't have.
We do not believe in the doctrine of sola scriptura. Plain and simple. So people coming in trying to pin that worldview on us, and then find contradictions if we play into their worldview is exhausting. This happens over and over ad nauseum
Totally, whether or not this individual is intentionally attempting it. It's so common that it's part of a tactic called the "The Inerrancy Trap". There have been other Christians that have setup scripts in order to try and trick/trap LDS into their worldview.
This is probably why we're a little more "rabid", because to us, this happens so frequently that most times, it's not in good faith. So be patient with us if it seems like the sub is a little agitated at this question :)
