I'm not sure you've fully understood quite what I was trying to say. From
what you've said, though, I realise that there's no way I'm going to sway you
about the *possibility* that Qohelet might be taking on the persona of
Solomon (???) for rhetorical reasons. So, I'll drop the discussion there.
Most of the other issues raised are not germane to b-hebrew, so I'll likewise
keep quiet about them.
