Agreed. But there is not just one pre-Masoretic text, there is a succession of them covering more than a millennium.


Are you counting the examples from the DSS? How early do you date them- because the earliest hebrew texts seem to date from about 200 BCE. So are you counting 200 BCE to 1200 CE? Are you calling texts till 1200 CE proto masoretic? I'm not sure what your 1000 year chronology is dating from or to.
