Stephen Kent, a professor of anthropology at the University of British Columbia, has written about this explicit point, known as attribution theory, particularly about the COG. Attribution theory has to with how events and things are attributed to a person, entity or anything else.
In the case of the COG, directives are attibuted to God thus becoming absolute and unquestionable truths. As a result, the channels to the "revelations" become all powerful in the minds of those who have accepted the "atttibution" without any critical thinking even if they are not officialy in the COG anymore.
