I'm not disputing the point. My question is a little different, though. If we preclude discussion on the basis that one of the tablets brought down the mountain has different words chiseled into it, we preclude operational input to it - and if it solves an operational problem, we kill that solution. My question is: do we see a problem that might argue for 4291's specification to change?

Absent a problem, we don't need a solution, and that might be an important data point to 6man.
