That's only important for believers. Theological splitting of hairs. The only thing mattering is that Islam grew in power during the 7th century and became a force to be reckoned with. It's historical role is the only thing mattering for outsiders. Yes, it is interesting who actually compiled the book. But purely from a historical perspective. The figure of Mohammed is also of interest, but again, from a historical and not from a theologic perspective.
