1. The appeal to "context" is often subjective, unless it is on the higher principle of the proper conference of Scripture with Scripture, which is to say, how does this word fit in with the same word throughout the Bible, various other passages and the Bible as a whole, etc.?

2. The appeal to the "Hebrew" is often subjective, for God clearly was able to use men of God to bring the full Scripture from the Hebrew to English in 1611. Therefore, the full sense is discernable in the English, and the Holy Ghost is yet present to help.

3. The appeal to the wisdom of man is misguided, in that there are those who have taught that Psalm 12 refers to the preservation of Scripture. It is more like being selective at which "commentary" one looks at, or a deliberate ignoring of certain sources.

4. Going to a "Hebrew scholar" is (at least almost always) today's form of Nicolaitanism, a continuation of the Romanist practice, and can even be likened to consulting a diviner/witch.
