I am not a classical scholar, I admit that, but I doubt that you or anyone else is so "brilliant" as to get a PhD in any subject, and by that very fact, be the cause of some major paradigm shift in academic studies in any academic discipline.
The fact that there are so few scholars who are Biblical inerrantists should tell you something, shouldn't it?

I don’t believe that was what GC was arguing. I for one, wouldn’t expect scholars (even Christian ones) to let the doctrine of inerrancy interfere with the historical work.
I don’t think one’s needs a PHD to know that if you can get to Y from X and you can get to Z from X, then one could travel from X to Y to Z. Possibly with other places that where not mentioned in between. This isn’t rocket science that we need to appeal to authority.
