"Any comments?"
"Father Reginald Fuller, an Episcopalian and Professor Emeritus at Virginia Theological Seminary, with Dr. Carsten Thiede, have analyzed three papyrus fragments from the 26th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew; the fragments date the year 40, which would indicate that the author was an eyewitness to our Lord's public ministry."
So, we have hard proof that the Gospel of Matthew was penned not "hundreds of years" after Our Lord's Resurrection, but earlier than the year 41.
Gee, I, I somehow missed the media furor that must certainly have created. I presume all the skeptics have stopped asserting the late authorship of Matthew, and are appropriately chagrined and apologetic.

So the "modern historical-critical method" is full of sewage ... I'm not surprised. Our ancestors were smarter than we give them credit for.
