A PhD thesis has also to ‘make a distinct and original contribution to the literature.’ If it does not it is an MPhil. Or possibly a fail.
A PhD thesis is not the definitive work for anyone who will go on to become an academic. It is meant to show that you can set a question, approach it with appropriate methodology and rigour, & demonstrate subject expertise, alongside independence of thinking and findings.
