Doesn't matter that it's crap if it contains an interesting verb
form not seen before, or mentions an historical fact only known
previously from a single source.
Like the Roman or ancient Greek version of misspelled words, improper
grammar, "hillbilly english", street slang, etc? On the
other hand, the archaeologists are not qualified to judge
the value of the bad poetry and horrid prose to the linguists
and and to the historians, who almost certainly will not agree
with each other, either.
True, but I bet the "90 percent of everything is crap" rule
applied back then as it does now.
