EGW referred to herself as the lesser light in reference to her writings, leading to the greater light in reference to the Bible.
This is a reference to the law (penteteuch) and the prophets. In the sanctuary, or temple, the law was read from one pulpit, which was to the right of center, from the point of view of the one reading. The prophets were read from a pulpit to the right of that one, from the point of view of the observer (nothing was to the left of anything; left was bad).
The prophets were read as a commentary on the law, and was referred to as the lesser light pointing to the greater light.
Those who wait for the Bridegroom's coming are to say to the people, "Behold your God." The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love.

From what I've seen, Sam Bacchiocchi places his own understanding above that of a prophet of God.
Doesn't everybody do this? But nobody recognizes it, except in somebody else.

Not everyone overrules the prophets Tom: "The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets". And not only are the prophets subject to the prophets, those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus which is the prophetic spirit are in harmony with the prophets. I know what you are getting at by way of exaggeration though.

What I'm saying is that everybody thinks they are interpreting Scripture and the Spirit of Prophecy correctly, and not putting their own thoughts above either. Nobody recognizes their own deficiencies in this matter, but are very quick to recognize the deficiencies of others.
