What I was getting into was asking myself "so just why were these apocryphal books excluded from canon?", and trying to answer the question in my mind of why certain groups include up to 73 books in their accepted cannon, or as far as 81 books. The accepted answer of "they weren't inspired by God" isn't a satisfactory answer to me. Just trying to satisfy my own curiosity. I still have a LOT of questions about some things and it's been glaringly apparent to me over the past couple of years that to find a satisfactory answer, I have to do it myself because at least I will know exactly what the motivation for the answer is and I know where the biases come from.
