I think it’s the perception of anyone who actually studied the topic.
+100. Which is why we don't 'study' it, and instead rely on mesorah.
Studying a topic will lead you to the people who wrote on the topic. It's like saying in 100 years that if you 'study' the topic, Trump was a dictator who threatened democracy with a horrible insurrection on January 6.
I don't care what secular writers penned on the subject, when I have a clear mesoras haTorah contradicting them.
