My view: Paul says that someone called James, Peter and John as Pillars. He doesn't like the implication of this label: to honour the three men. And his justification is that no man has to be honoured if not by God.

How could a true follower of Paul honour the man Paul even if he knew that Paul didn't like be called with a onorific title (as even the name himself 'PAUL' seems to mean, as self-invitation to humility ?

It is like if someone who wants be called (and was called) 'Little' is called 'Great' by a his presumed follower: contradiction.

This is the "No True Scotsman" fallacy, plain and simple.

And debating an obvious fallacy is boring. Enjoy your fantasy.
