Desmond Ford convinced Robert Brinsmead his views on perfectionism were incorrect in about 1970. Robert Brinsmead himself however denies that Ford convinced him to abandon perfectionism and further states that he abandoned perfectionism as a result of his intensive study of the issues of the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther, and justification by faith. During the 1970s, what is now the "Adventist Review" carried articles by editor Kenneth Wood and associate editor Herbert Douglass rejecting "Questions on Doctrine" and arguing for a final perfect generation.
