Well considering all we have to go on is the writings and ramblings of completely fallible humans writing what their fallible brains remember or want to remember, then there's the issue of many many many years of seperation/evolution of cultures between then and now, also considering some things happened/were written before the Tower of Babel and we know how translating from one tongue to another tends causes some loss of meaning, intent or inflection...
