I don't understand your point. I don't know what historical Jesus studies have to do with this, but Mark's source materials are used by even anti-christian scholars at least in some way to reconstruct a historical Jesus.
Scholars are looking at it the wrong way. They have confined themselves to the historical box when clearly Mark is an allegory for what the Jews went through after the war.
