I'm not sure who says that but I don't. By all means use them. However I don't think you can get any more out of an ancient book than you can a modern one. You'll find people's sometimes motivated accounts of events they've witnessed or heard about (not always correctly labeled as the one or the other). You'll get peoples theories and explanations and predictions and musings and imaginings. Fine, study those as you see fit.
What exactly were you hoping to use them for and why should we care?
