Different scholars believe different things. I guess Wells knows better than anyone holding a different view. Is that what you're saying? That there is a final arbitrer when it comes to the subject, and Wells is that person?

BTW - proposing that the Q was something devised by multiple savior figures running around the area is pure speculation. You realize the Q dicument is a non-existent, hypothetical document that has been proposed to fill in the blanks in scriptire origin discussions, do you not?

Q=the German word "quelle," which means an origin, like in a spring, ie: the source.
