I wonder if "refutation" is needed for the JEDP approach. Since this 
hypothesis is well over 100 years old and is largely dependant at the 
foundational level on a discredited model of the history of religions, 
I think the onus is on those who continue to assume JEDP to prove 
their case. So I would be more interested in seeing a thorough modern 
exposition of this theory, based on up-to-date arguments including 
linguistic analysis rather than appeal to 19th century authorities. 
Maybe Vince's work will lead him in this direction, or maybe towards a 
refutation - best of all, I would hope, a balanced reevaluation of the 
hypothesis.
