It is true that interpretation is a 2 step process, (1) exegesis of the original meaning and (2) application for today. Once CBMW exegetes 1 Tim to say women cannot teach men, I could see a pastor or congregation wondering if something they do would be condemned by them by some paper in the future. In other words there would be a natural tendency to play it safe and forbid women from doing lots of things where they might end up teaching men. This is entirely a problem of their own making due to their exegesis, which is really eisegesis.
