See my #12.

OTOH, Campion... Perhaps you're the sort who requires an counter-signed Affidavit, in triplicate, from a General Synod of Royal Musicians... in order to know that the music of Beethoven is wonderful.

Best, OP

Whether the music of Beethoven is wonderful or not is a matter of personal taste. (I happen to think that it is.)

The question of the composition of the NT canon is not a matter of esthetics or personal taste. I think you and I both know that it's a bit more important than that, and if you look at the history of canon formation, you'll find out that it's not as cut-and-dried as you like to pretend.
