Another thing to keep in mind: a 13 letter corpus is probably a little too
small a sample from which to acheive 'certainty' regarding an author's
style, theology, etc., especially if the 13 were written over a ten year
period to socially/religiously diverse congregations/individuals.
The differences between some letters are real and invite explanation but, in
my opinion, too much is made of too little. In the face of so small a
collection of data with which to 'play', more epistemic humility is required
on the part of those of us who play with it all day long.
Just a thought.
