How necessary is it to read bad books in order to appreciate good books?

There are no better autists I can ask than on here, so as someone who's still not fully read up on the Sahih hadiths, what do you guys think about Bukhari 3896/5133 and Muslim 1422b?

Quite frankly Muhammad having intercourse with a 9 year old is throwing me off and made me look up the hadith the second I read it, leading to a lot of questions about his life, and the supposed will of Allah.
I've heard several arguments implying Aisha was actually 18 because of her participation with Muhammed in the siege of Badr (not sure if i'm remembering correctly, might be confusing it for another), but it sounds like mental gymnastics considering three different hadiths in two different collections say the exact same +- a year. Al-Sunan al-Sughra also implies she was born in 614, so absolutely nothing is adding up to me, it just sounds like cope and deflection to me.

Some also imply that 9 year olds were basically adults (???) in that age because of the hardships of life, which I also have a really hard time believing.
Is this just my human social ideas of morality being confused with the will of the creator (i.e human laws vs. Allah)? Did Muhammad actually admit Aisha to his house when she was just 9 years old?
