Thanks for expanding. But doesn't this boil down to hair-splitting over the definition of "literature"? Does folklore count as literature? Many scholars would say yes, and have given it serious literary study, yet it doesn't even exist as a canonical text.

I think you have misunderstood. I am not accusing it of not being literature. I'm just saying it is low quality literature.
