You did not address the question. What historical "facts" are you asserting that you can deduce from your bible?
And interpolations are unimportant if the original tale was fiction anyway.
To know how to detect likely interpolations is important in determining the question of whether or not the texts have been edited and to what degree. You brought the issue up. How it affects your mythicist interpretation of the data is for you to explain.
