More to the point, OP is relying on the telephone game as if it produces truth. When we want to criticize the Talmud, we need to be very specific and very accurate so that we don't look like the bigger fools by comparison. My goal is accurate information so that criticism can be weighed impartially.

For instance, Sanhedrin 43a accurately says that Ulla believed that the Yeshu who was hanged during Passover was "an inciter", thus worthy of the death penalty; that's an accurately stated view from a 4th-century rabbi, though not a binding view in Judaism. On the other hand, Gittin 56b-57a is much more often misquoted here than accurately described; in the context of an afterlife joke, it states that Onkelos summoned Yeshu ("the Nazarene" in questioned manuscripts) by necromancy and was told about punishment by boiling excrement. The former can be used accurately, the latter has almost no usability while maintaining accuracy.
