Some opinions about him, his motivations and regrets, are better than others because they better match the data which consist of historical accounts, letters, artifacts, and official documents. In that way, the bible is another data set. Your objection, were it valid, would undermine all study in the humanities.
The humanities don't declare that a specific book contains divine truth. Your objection is mooted.
