Do fundamentalists exaggerate Paul's significance?

Although Paul founded the churches of Galatia, Galatians 1:6-9 has him cursing anybody who would disagree with his gospel. Reading the entire epistle reveals that at some point, residents of Galatia who had converted to Jesus through Paul eventually decided the Judaizer gospel was the truth, and so accepted it.

Now what group is more likely to know truths about Paul not subject to interpretative-subjectivity: his original contemporary converts? Or people who wouldn't be born for another 1900 years, who know precisely nothing about Paul except what they find in a collection of books that ancient supporters of Paul helped put together?
 
Well, now, that's quite an attitude! You do know that Paul wrote his books under the authority of God himself, right? Paul's Gospel isn't about Paul.
 
Is it too much to ask for a direct answer to my two questions?
