A good research report gets put foreward to be brutally ripped to shreds through the crucible of peer review.
The Bible won't survive that process.
Peer review is garbage.
Why would any sane person submit their idea to the opinion of a mob? The idea that an intellectual consensus equals a correct answer, is hardly new. Years ago, the idea was that sickness resulted from the body being clogged with gunk, so people were given enemas, or bled out, or sucked by leeches. There was even a fad of using sterilized tapeworms to manage body weight. Honestly, the last one might be good for America's morbid obese, but this is neither here nor there. The point is, this notion was wrong on a fundamental level, and people wasted away from having their vitality literally drained away.
Or how about Code films? Some group of people decided that only wholesome films could play, and movies of this era were mostly boring. The thing is, years have passed and if you look at films today, the current market system has made a sort of Code of its own. Can't be politically incorrect (or overly edgy for that matter), while the 70s to mid 90s (Fast Times At Ridgemont High) had full nudity modern films have no breasts or sexual organs even in so-called R films, having phased any real sex into X rated (which never shows). The most interesting films were literally those where society wasn't concerned about eirher public morals or political correctness but producing a cool movie.
When consensus rather than personal opinions reigns, we get stagnation.
Here's another good example: The average book cannot be published with over 100,000 words. Supposedly, this is because after this length, a work is considered overwrought, and is immediately rejected by review. The thing is, a decent epic needs to be as long as it needs to be, and a decent trilogy, if self-contained will most likely be longer.
Btw, the actual reason that a book must be this length? To save publishing costs, and maximize prifit. They also streamline book content so nothing is too shocking. But here's the problem: None of those books will be remembered in 20 years. Books that market well tend to be bland. On the other hand, The Communist Manifesto, The Bible, The Quran, Ayn Rand, Terry Goodkind, all of these are authors or books that had a profound effect on society. At the very least, they seem to be in every used book store.
The Bible would not get published under the current review process. Nor would the Quran. Nor the Analects, nor the Vedas, nor the Tripitaka. The Tao te Ching would make it, but only because it's like 100ish pages.
And yet these books receive worldwide acclaim. The Great Gatsby fits under this word count, yet it has nothing to say. The characters are boring cliches, and the entire book is about a bleak period of history where nobody had any spiritual drive.
