Yes. I genuinely am. I can tell what books other people

I can't sense the "holy aura." I would say I'm just color-blind that way, and other people can sense something I can't, except different people report different perceptions of what book is actually really the holy one, (or ones). So I think nobody else can sense it either.
One standard for every book seems fair to me. Not "all
these books have to meet guideline X but this other book
I think is holy so
it gets a pass."
It's simple enough--if your holy book can't meet guideline X, discard the guideline; it obviously wasn't a good one.
