I’m discussing the patterns noticed within the Biblical books.

Your claim is different, therefore you are looking at different books:
which Biblical books do you date post-Babylonian Exile? Already when I
first mentioned that I noticed this pattern, I included the observation
that those who have a different view of Bible would not notice that
pattern. That you do not notice that pattern makes me question which books
do you recognize as being post-Babylonian Exile? Your list above indicates
some of them. A complete list would be helpful. And why?
