I came across this quote today from I. Howard Marshall in his commentary on the pastoral epistles:
"... there are few limits that can be set on the ingenuity of scholars" (73).
He's talking about the ingenious reconstructions of the "real story" behind how things have come to be the way they are in the biblical text. Of course the same could be said of non-scholarly interpretation too.

Isn't it amazing how we reconstruct our stories to put us in the best light. I have learned that that is not how to have a "happy marriage".
