  13. In the strictest sense, inerrancy makes no claims about the authors of
  14. the inerrant work, other than the claim that they were able to produce
  15. something without errors.  Attempting to disprove inerrancy by
  16. bringing in other information about the authors is at best extraneous
  17. and at worst red herring.
  18.  
  19. The question that has just been asked is essentially: Does inerrancy
  20. exclude the use of idiom?
  21.  
  22. Observations about God do not provide an answer to this question.
