What I would like you, well anyone I guess, to ask is: present us a
better, simpler, more elegant theory than this, or better even, why
don't you try to look at the BHebrew texts supposing the theory (as if
you actually believe it yourself), only to give it up when you really
find something that contradicts it.
That would be an interesting experiment of thought.
My opinion of science is, it has to provide the best and simplest
hypotheses to explain certain phenomena, for the time being, until an
even better one is given, so after testing that hypothesis, we may or
may not accept it.
There may never be actual *proof* for any theory concerning wayyiqtol.
However, *ALL other theories* I have seen so far are either unlikely,
need too many additional hypotheses, or are too far-fetched to be
taken seriously.
