Experts are people who know everything that is known about a subject, but 
when it comes to what is not known, they are not really experts anymore. They 
are just more likely to be able to figure out the unknown information than 
amateurs.
 
I think thousands of years ago many quotes of the Hebrew Bible were forgotten 
and misunderstood. When the scribes were writing out the Bible, they did not 
understand some quotes and they had to guess the meanings. I think they made 
many mistakes that were accepted over time until there were no manuscripts 
with the correct original version. 
 
Some people say that there are mistakes in the Hebrew Bible, but if you check 
the ancient manuscripts, you can find the correct version of everything 
somewhere. I think that is not true. I think  mistakes mistakes might have 
been completely accepted as correct by people thousands of years ago.
 
I have heard some scholars and scholarly types say that they only believe 
what the "data" in the Hebrew Bible shows, but the Hebrew Bible was passed 
down by people, so human nature has to be considered. The "data" in the 
Hebrew Bible could be corrupted and almost useless in some quotes. So as an 
ignorant and arrogant amateur, I have done my own "textual criticism" of the 
Hebrew Bible that you can see at my site. You can read my "book" called 
"Messianic Mistakes and Misunderstandings: Why Judaism and Christianity are 
both wrong about the most controversial quotes in the Hebrew Bible."

I suppose you will ignore my ideas as stupid guesses, but that is OK with me.
