The long and short of both of those boringly long posts is that magic book mangles the events of the period between 1.3k ish and exile as some ancient mythologized past. There is history in there, just not a history of the timeframes purported or in the order presented. Its gets significant details wrong, like the actors in question..but those details it gets right (or rightish) can place the narratives authors in time.
If magic book wants to talk about canaanites with iron, for example..there are only a couple of groups that they could be referring to....one of which being themselves reimagined -as- "canaanites".
