Studying biblical theology is like drinking beer: awesome. It is a heady drink. But both can be overdone. I have been there. I used to be a "moderate" in the baptist church. NT Wright was way too conservative for me. I laughed at his fundamentalism. He believed in silly things like a single Isaianic authorship.

But when you read heavy amounts of biblical theology (and Andy's comment about Vos fearing to go such and such is correct) you start, or at one time I did, to get annoyed with what you perceive to be artificial constraints on the text. This hits some people differently than others.
But is this not what the hyper preterists and the hyper-calvinists do? They just attempt to go where the evidence leads.

Probably. I was merely making an empirical observation from my own limited experience.
