I wonder...is it proper to ask questions that pull in the "original" manuscripts...since they don't exist?

To ask if such and such is the same as the original, while that original doesn't exist doesn't seem like a legitimate question the more i think about it.

It's kind of like saying, "Do you prefer horses or unicorns?"
Well, if unicorns existed they would be pretty cool, but since they don't only horses can get you where you need to be going.
