If hadiths are essential to Islam why weren't they divinely revealed , as supplements to the Quran.
Instead of it being a game of historical hearsay, "my scholars are better than yours, so and so had memory problems , such and such wasn't an eye witness…X was a forgery, Y was a typo,…" etc
Arguing hadiths is so inconvenient. People find a million ways to doubt your point…blah
