Use the lore book to open new doors, not close them.
This implies that the presented alternatives are "stifling" RP, or that following lore to the letter, which some people prefer to do, does not follow the same line of "improvement." It could be argued that this is a "stifling" viewpoint in and of itself.
The issue is that people have different things they want to do, and different preferences within RP, and since the two dominant trains of thought are directly juxtaposed and situated over subjctive ideas of "good" and of "improvement," there will never be agreement.
