I don't wish to start another Humpty-Dumpty debate, but surely
this is fundamentalism simpliciter?  *Ultra*-fundamentalism would say
"CLL is gospel *even* where it can conclusively [etc.]"

Or (in the words of an actual fundamentalist whom I heard on TV
some years ago) "You don't have to *understand* the whole Bible to
*believe* the whole Bible!"
