Well, there we would have to disagree on the usefulness of the whole
critical apparatus. Considering we no longer have any so-called
original autographs, the whole point is made rather moot. You can
always get "close" but never truly close enough. Forgetting the entire
point that the only purpose for creating the critical apparatus by the
originators was to justify their own evolutionist world view. Let's
just say that textual criticism today is a tempest in a
teapot---countless efforts for little result.
