And *nobody* takes that literally, because doing so would be kefirah.

I suspect that RAYK has once again been misrepresented, and didn't write
any such thing.  Without having read the article, I can even speculate
what he might really have written: perhaps he wrote that in the future
the mincha will be considered the ikkar of the korban and the animal
will be considered the tafel, instead of the other way around as it was
in the Mishkan and the first two Batei Mikdash.  Which is a very different
thing.
