What you are saying is that IF the Vedas are consistent (meaning every statement
in the Vedas is true - you used the word "accurate") and IF the Vedas are
complete (all true statements are to be found in the Vedas), THEN any add on
would be a redundancy.
Can we safely assume that rules of logical inference are valid in interpreting
the Vedic injunctions? If so, Goedel's theorem states that such a scenario
(of there being a logical system that is both complete and consistent)
is _impossible_.
