I think you just answered your own question!
They can give info in response to the calling. We call by reading the books. We also call unconsciously. They hear our call and respond.
30 years ago, Ra was not able to give specifics that Q'uo was later able to provide...because that info had already become known by the collective consciousness. And, even so, it cannot be given as an absolute, because there are still those who would choose to not avail themselves of this info.

At the start of most sessions Q'uo asks that we use our judgment on what is said, so that they might speak more freely. We should hold on to what resonates, and discard what does not. What does this imply, exactly? Q'uo tells us what they know to be the truth, which we can probably assume is almost always accurate coming from their position compared to ours. If I read something that does not resonate, how can I know that it is not true, vs. something that I am simply not comfortable with? For example, there are a lot of things I see in the news that I am not comfortable with (and some times can hardly believe), yet I won't deny that they aren't happening or true. Am I perhaps thinking about this the wrong way?
Many of us already accept much of what Ra/Q'uo say because we trust them. But a new person reading the material for the first time might not yet have reached that same conclusion. They might be assessing the material.
I'm not sure how to answer the second part of your question, about the resonance...the LOO has always given me comfort as well as resonance. I would suggest that any parts of the material that make you uncomfortable be set aside for future reference...perhaps it will become relevant at some future time...or maybe not. Use the parts that are relevant and don't worry too much about the rest.
Hope that helps!
