For any question, there is always at least one painstakingly researched, logically consistent, wrong answer.
Which is why the key is to look for the answer that's been arrived at more than once, by multiple independent investigators. That's the point. Any one investigator can be led astray by some source of bias or error, but if multiple parties separately reach the same result, that increases the confidence in that result. This is why science demands that any result be independently verified by multiple parties.
At any rate, about to start Daniel (not about Daniel Striped Tiger, nor about his more animated grandson), with the apocryphal parts (Susanna, The Song of the Three Holy Children, and Bel and the Dragon) integrated in context.
Do you have to put up with other Bible fans complaining "But those books aren't canon"?
