I get your argument about the Bible, but the Bible doesn't make that argument about itself as a corpus, that it is incorrect in some teachings. Lee did, you do, but not the Bible about itself.

What happens with this line of thought is that one has to arbitrarily abandon it at some point, or else Paul, Ananias, Peter and John get censured for being void of revelation also. So one makes the argument selectively, and hopes no one notices when it tails off.
