It's a distorted logic. I simply mean that if the book is popular it
doesn't prove that it says truth. But I didn't say that SD or Bible
tell lie, though I personally believe that in case of Bible it is so.
Also I think that SD may contain no less errors than books by CWL.

To talk about dugpas, it is desirable to know them better, and not
from the books only. So I'm glad to offer you an opportunity to widen
your knowledge about them.

The same is true about books by CWL, and maybe even in a greater
extent.
I often receive the letters from all parts of Russia, they are not
from theosophists only, but also from people who have personal
problems. Several months ago I've received a letter from a woman who
has lost her son, and she was very depressed. I was sure that "The
secret doctrine" or philosophical works by Subba Row wouldn't help
her, and I've recommended her to read "Invisible helpers", and later I
found out that it was exactly what she needed.
