No "bumpkins" really needed. Just an organization like the UPC where the angriest voices got to control the whole movement. The "bumpkins" were those of us who allowed it to happen.

It's 100% correct.

I don't think it's necessary to resort to "demon inspired" notions when the simplest explanation: "carnal men" - is sufficient to explain its origins.

But there was definitely some kind of "spirit" that gripped the key players at the time when the thing finally came up for discussion.
