If the Lord really did say those words to John Taylor, what right does the Church have to not canonize it?

There are dozens of revelations to the Presidents of the Church that have not been canonized. That's why I place little faith in the concept of "canon". There are things that have been canonized that shouldn't be. There are things that should be canonized that aren't. Canon is the work of man. Revelation is the work of God. If God cares enough to say it to man, then that's good enough for me.
