I'm not disputing the plainess of what is written, nor am I trying to attack you. I am pointing out that you are reading what Nephi says through the filter of Mormon who writes; Nephi says.
Let's consider the subject of history on the whole; Does an absolutely comprehensive, entirely truthful history of any event or moment in recorded human history exist?
No. Such a work would require an omniscient author.
That is why the Book of Mormon is an abridgment and not merely a compilation.
