umm...bro I was talking about who made the first biography of the Prophet saws.I know it was called the Sira and it was compiled after the Prophet's saws death.I thought Aisha made a contribution to it.

brother,
The ahadith provide the major source for the life of Prophet Muhamamd saws. The quote you cited only shows ignorance towards the methodologies used in authenticating ahadith. The authentic ahadith confirm the facts of Prophet Muhammad saws's life. Read here:

As for the Sirah biographies, then they need to be examined in the light of the Qur'an and Ahadith. And just because one biography happens to be earlier does not necessarily mean that it is the most authentic source. Besides, the Ahadith came before the biographies. So we use the material that is authentic to arrive at the correct understanding of the Prophet saws's life.
