True and we have evidence of tampering, as we do know that Chrestians (the good ones) was changed to Christians. But I've decided I'm not even going there. My experience is you can spend hours riding the "scholars say..." merry-go-round talking about the details of Tacitus. I'm saving time with a simple, "fine, whatever, get on with it".
I'm sticking with a cross-examination of the Bible.
