As I have said (and others) you are only making assumptions and quite faulty ones aswell! The Christian church has the legal chain of custody[your terminology] (Not a very good one for the history of the transmission of scripture).
again I think even James White's elementary explanation in the video I posted halts your thesis in its tracks. Maybe your TC needs reviewing?

Why do you only accept four gospels when there were hundreds published
What is your Criterion for ruling out the gnostic texts and holding to the only the 27.
Ireneaus is speaking to the transmission process of the scriptures, an eyewitness to the process, yet you quote James white as an authority on this process.
It's interesting that I document my assertion with the testimony of Ireneus and Tertullian. Please cite a document from the ancient world that support James white theory of the transmission process. I cite ancient witnesses from the apostolic churches, and you quote James White.
It's surprising you quote Spurgeon, a fellow Calvinist, yet the renaissance scholars didn't follow the method of James white, but supported the Ecclesiastical text received through the historical apostolic churches. In James white videos he discredits the entire work of Theodore beza based on one word in his text.
Theodore Beza is a much more faithful witnesses than James white, so is Ireaneus.
Since you are such are ardent defender of James white, can you please name the scribe that was corrupting all the texts, please I just need a name and locatation, a decree from a bishop. Please some empirical evidence.
