Fair enough, but I'm still not gonna argue with the historians who's job it is to know this stuff. 

I'm not saying to argue with the historians, unless you actually have evidence in which case go for it, but your confidence should be proportionate to theirs.  I've seen debates between mythicists and those who advocate for a historical Jesus, and I'd describe the confidence  confidence level of historical proponents as "pretty sure".  So, I'd say that is the appropriate level of confidence that anyone without specific expertise should have.    

Pretty sure we're on the same page here. I was agreeing with your post, I just cut out most of the chaff because I don't like spamming the board with huge quote chains.
