Nelson is pushing the real name of the church by referencing the section in the D&C where Christ says what his church should be named.
Why can’t Nelson just do the same with the word of wisdom? He can just say that god has been impressing on his mind that we should be more diligent in following the actual wording in D&C 89, which would allow for beer, wine, and coffee/tea (as long as they aren’t too hot). Scale back a bit on meat and continue to not smoke tobacco. Seems like a reasonable solution.
If you’ve ever read the full section 89 during a lesson you realize just how far our current practice is from the actual wording of the revelation.
