That's hardly the only argument necessary. Unbroken tradition from then down to "modern" times attributes it to him, and must be taken into account. And there are more references in the Torah to him writing down what he was told, and none of them say he merely "scrawled a few things."


Tradition doesn't matter a tinker's tin.
There are three places where Moses is said to have written something- Ex 24:4, Dt 31:9, 31:22. An even not so careful reading will show that the reference to Moses writing refers only to the present pericope.
