Hinckley says he's not worried that Joseph Smith's multiple versions of his First Vision. He dismisses these different versions of the vision without ever mentioning any differences in the accounts. His goal is calming members who have heard of these strange accounts, and hope they will not look at them.

LDS Historian, Richard Bushman concedes that Joseph Smith was looking for treasure. He argues that this was “part of a culture found virtually everywhere,” “something like reading astrological charts today—a little goofy but harmless,” “too commonplace to be scandalous,” “too common in the nineteenth century for it to invalidate Joseph Smith,” because, he states “folk traditions and religion blend.”

"We have nothing to hide. Our history is an open book. They may find what they are looking for, but the fact is the history of the church is clear and open and leads to faith and strength and virtues." Gordon B. Hinckley, LDS Church President.
