No doubt the Gospel authors (and, to a lesser extent, Paul, who had his own theology), blended together different source material, and it may be the Q does not contain any words spoken from the mouth of the historical Jesus, but, nonetheless, Q existed as an historical document that has simply been lost to time. It may, however, have been composed by some Jewish rabbi, who got his material elsewhere.
