@opphunter88 Except your "explanation" doesn't cover the active destruction of texts and the selective reading of the ones they prefer. It just doesn't. It merely presupposes that such efforts didn't really take place. But they did.

It's trivial to explain how they could have done this without it being edited early on. There could have simply been competing texts early on, and they just got rid of all the ones they didn't like. So much for your "explanation."
