Jerusalem Talmud Rosh Hashanah

Why was Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish offended by this? He was worried about what Rebbi Eleazar said, since Rebbi Eleazar said103Ez. 13:9. Babli Ketubot 112a.: My hand will be against the prophets who see vain things and who conjure lies, in my people’s council104Identifying biblical סוד “council” with rabbinic סוד “secret”. they shall not be; that is the secret of intercalation; in the documents of the House of Israel they will not be inscribed; that is ordination; and to the earth of Israel they shall not come; that is the Land of Israel. Rebbi Eleazar said, when I came here, I said, I have one. When they ordained me, I said, I have two. When I was asked to participate in the intercalation, I said, I have all three with me.
