Agreed. As more of the "Word" is proven, it lends validity to the rest of the writings as being legitimate and "not the product of some half-drunk star chaser".
(Memory is failing a bit on that little quote but, I seem to remember something like it in TOS during a conversation about the Book of the Word. Wait a minute, memory starting to come back -- didn't Baltar say something to that effect in LPOTG when he walked into the burial chamber of the 9th Lord of Kobol?)
