Um, sure... And if you carry some bias with your excess baggage, you can cut your study time down to almost nothing and still come to a firm, confident conclusion.

Why is this "personally" offensive? And why do you automatically assume that the sole purpose of the interest in the scrolls from that group is to "advance their agenda"? Could it be that they simply find it a fascinating object of study (like thousands of other scholars)? I am not an authority on the FARMS books on this topic, but I am starting to suspect I may have studied it as much as you have.
