"Aesthetics would be reason enough for why he decided to fix those small q heads.

Actually, it's the other way around. At least in other books. Appearance before correction.
Ink never disappears completely; you would see it under UV light. Then it would look like a patchwork quilt.
According to you, the retracer worked very carefully, but he just can't get a ‘4’ right.
Why didn't he trace or describe the drawings in the folds? Take the rosette leaf, for example. It really needed it.
And yes, it's a similar technique to that used by the Templars, only the characteristic is different. Think of entropy and five scribes. Do five scribes really have the same writing tolerance?
