So how would I know which ones are weak? And isn't calling it Sahih al-Bukhari a bit misleading? Not at all, the reason you might be a little confused is because you may not understand Arabic, if you do you would should have read Hady al-Sari which is a introduction to Bukhari's Sahih by Ibn Hajar. He addresses all these questions and more.

1. Was it Imam al-Bukhari ((May Allah(SWT) Be Pleased With him) himself who qualified his collection as Sahih or was this done by subsequent hadith scholars? It was the Imam himself and also his peers who recognized not only the importance of its work but also his breadth and erudition.
