Opinion: The Documentary Hypothesis, if it was based on fact, might be a way of looking at the Torah. However, it is a theory only, with no physical evidence.
The same literary devices which the Torah employs to enrich its text, are pointed at in the JEPD (Documentary) Hypothesis in an attempt to reassign the Torah's authorship.
The Jewish sages, based on ancient tradition, identified many of these devices, which include:
recapping earlier brief passages to elucidate,
employing different names of God to signify His various attributes,
using apparent changes or redundancies to allude to additional unstated details,
speaking in the vernacular that was current during each era,
and many more. While Judaism has always seen the Torah as an intricate tapestry that nonetheless had one Divine source, some modern authors such as Wellhausen (the father of the JEPD hypothesis, 1844-1918) have suggested artificially chopping up the narrative and attributing it to various authors, despite the Torah's explicit statement as to its provenance (Exodus 24:12, Deuteronomy 31:24). This need not concern believers, since his claims have been debunked one by one, as Archaeology and other disciplines have demonstrated the integrity of the Torah. No fragments have ever been found that would support the Documentary Hypothesis, which remains nothing more than an arbitrary claim:
What else can I help you with?
What three words do you use for the hypothesis?
if.....then.....because It's my understanding that there are two, not three, intrinsic words in a hypothesis. These are "if" and "then." If there was a third word, I suspect it would be "therefore."

If a hypothesis is incorrect what would be the next step?
If a hypothesis is found to be incorrect, the next step is to analyze the data and observations that led to this conclusion to identify potential errors or alternative explanations. Researchers should then revise the hypothesis based on these insights and design new experiments or observations to test the updated hypothesis. This iterative process helps refine understanding and contributes to the advancement of knowledge.

How do you write an interesting hypothesis?
A hypothesis is interesting when it is plausible. If you are well informed about the situation for which some hypothesis is needed, then you have a chance of coming up with a believable hypothesis. A very implausible hypothesis might be funny, but it would not really be an interesting hypothesis, insofar as it would be immediately dismissed other than as a subject of comedy.
How would judaism be different without toshba?
Judaism would be A LOT different with out toshba. Toshba is basically all of the commentaries and understanding that Rabbis have come up with based on the Torah. So, Rabbis about 1000 years ago read the Torah, and then debated what certain things meant. So there might be a law in the Torah that people are not really sure what it meant, so the rabbis would debate what it could mean and then make laws for what Jewish people should do based on that law that is in the Torah.
