Certainly this doesn't serve as any kind of proof, but wouldn't you be more surprised to hear that everyone on the writing staff was in agreement?
Sure, for the average J-Dub, it's easy to sidestep the weirdness. But for someone whose job it is to find the reasonings, fact-check (very loosely) with historical sources, make sure it's in line with all the former constantly-shifting doctrine? I'd say you have to be a seriously mind-numbed zombie NOT to have frequent cases of head-pounding, stomach-churning nausea.
You can only suppress it for so long. If you write for the Watchtower, you're going to figure things out eventually.
Perhaps the July Awake! saying persons should not be forced to worship against their will has caused heads to roll. Hmmmm.
