Yes, this is what I mean by a coherent systematization which have bring into live a written teaching. The effort is two fold: First to write coherently, for the first time, a set of teachings from here and there; then to make them work properly. This is what matters in terms of historical authenticity....

How can we be so sure of authenticity so far after the fact?

What is important...is that the Pali Dhamma is the first one that come to be a systematic and coherent teaching which is uniform in language, time and issue: The anatta nature of things and mind.

Yes, it's important, but not to the exclusion of other things of importance. Are you contending that the "essence" of the Pali Dhamma and/or Buddha Dhamma are the anatta teachings?
