Is “Sahih-ul-Bukhari Hadith” Authentic, Fabrication and/or Farcical? Are the collections of Bukhari and Muslim the “Emperor’s New Clothes” in the Muslim world ?:

This seems to be most common of all pronouncements – proclaiming that “Sahih Bukhari’ is next to the Quran.
A complete examination of this had clearly indicated that out of the 114 Chapters or Surahs only fews Verses of 76 of the Surahs have been recorded in Bukhari – 28 Whole Chapters or Surahs have been totally ignored. 28 Surahs of the Quran are NOT “explained” at all. The Surah numbers are as follows; 23, 27, 29, 35, 51, 57, 58, 64, 67, 69, 70, 73, 76, 81, 82, 86, 88, 89, 90, 94, 100, 101, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, and 109. Bukhari explains this away as follows “No hadith were mentioned here.”
The number of Ayaths or verses that have been recorded in Bukhari are Less than 12 Percent of the 6236 Ayaths. Who is responsible for the balance 88 percent? So the pronouncement that this Bukhari is next to the Quran becomes totally a myth.
