To me this (and the other one from 80r) are the strongest arguments against the systematic retracing hypothesis. These are very clear unambiguous examples of retracing, I agree. I don't know if this happened immediately after writing or later. The fact that the same two examples are given over and over again tells me that there are no more than a handful of these in the whole manuscript, which means that either the retracing was performed with absolutely incredibly heroic effort to hide all evidence of it or no systematic retracing was performed.

I assume, you have spent quite some time looking for examples of retracing in the manuscript. In this case it can be inferred that the lack of evidence is the evidence of absence (of obvious unambiguous examples that would work for anyone), what do you think?
