[split] Did the VM go straight from cerebellum to vellum?

[Bluetoes101]

To the main question, and I shall adopt a "defensive curl" here.. 
Obviously not. 

If it did you would have to somehow answer, 

1. Why did you do paint reminders/instructions?
   
2. Why did you ignore them? - Your own instructions. 
   

I think the crystal maze experts may find some answers, but they will not be more likely than "you didn't.".
I also think this casts some serious doubt on scribe = artist (edit, I should say "painter") too, for pages involved.

If we decide to say well.. maybe the painting was way later. Why do paint instructions then?
Maybe the paint instructions were later? - Why ignore them then? 

The only options for me are (that do not need "..but with extra steps"); 

1. Painter didn't really care much for your instructions
   
2. Scribe accidently copied some instructions from things they were copying from
   

All avenues point to more than one guy, and not "brain to vellum". It had planning, and planning that some people ignored.
