Comment:-
All this is speculation. As such even if sounds reasonable it is either
false or if true we cannot know this.
Objectivity requires reference to facts.
The fact is that the Quran and Hadith claim that
the Prophet Muhammad received revelation.
That is, he obtained his information from the objective source.
