The problem with these stuff 'found much later', is that they could easily be forgery. Same with dead sea scrolls. When something getts added 'later', it's so much easier to 'fill the gaps' with 'convenient new-found old information'.. it's bullshit.

the legitimacy of the Nag Hammadi library is beyond dispute, it has been independently verified by numerous people working in the field

Or maybe they want people to believe it's legitimate to push whatever agenda, same with dead sea scrolls. If something outlandish is found that doesn't support their views, then that and only that is fake?
gpt
again, there is no 'they', we're talking about independent verification

Yeah and those people need to make money somehow? If they tell stuff that goes against status quo they become jobless, why would anyone want to self-sabotage?
gpt
the vast majority of those people already make money, and make money regardless of the veracity of such scrolls, they don't have any stake in whether the scrolls are legitimate or not
those people don't become jobless by going 'against status quo', that happens all the time when there's something that's actually disputable
again, the legitimacy of Nag Hammadi isn't disputable at all
