I have the same problems with human-developed language systems.
Humans invented the texts, so humans invented the interpretation of the texts, so the result can mean anything humans decide they mean. It’s not like when we arrived on earth we found an owner’s manual waiting for us with a chapter on interpreting texts that we humans developed.
Until somebody can resolve that for me, I will be skeptical of any human developed “text” that claims to communicate anything.
Actually, you should be. Each generation changes the language and twists the meaning of words around to mean something completely different (i.e., "gay". That USED to mean happily cheerful. Now...)

I have a problem with all human-developed dating methods.

Me too and anyone with their head in the sand...well, frankly is to be taken with a very small grain of salt. :)
