If I'm remembering correctly, Tacitus is the only one who mentions "Christ". Here's a page on the problems people have with it being 'proof' Jesus existed (even just as a man).
This so-called Tacitus letter is a crude fake written by Poggio Bracciolini during the XVIth century. Too many references are incorrect (Pilatus was a praefect, and not a procurator). Even the Vatican officially acknowledges that this part of Tacite's manuscript is "odd" and probably of dubious origins.
Once again, it's not "nit-picking", it's just denouncing a pious fraud.
Plus the site you quote is written and designed by a Christian apologist who seems to be on a personal crusade against Atheism. Not the most neutral source If I may say...
What's next?
