It is simple, really. Historical records are bare facts.
The bible cannot claim historical accuracy if it alludes to allegory and metaphor.
Historical facts of past figures we know to have existed don't include elements only found in tall tales. Honest Abe was honest, he didn't speak Slytherin and live to the age of four-hundred.
