For me, the correct answer is: there are numerous possible explanations, and several of these are plausible.
And it stops there.
One can of course prefer one or another explanation, for some personal reason, but when several people do that, we go back to the first line of this post.
- The word could be correct - this is the word that was intended.
- It could be a mistake.
The second case can be exploded into many scenarios, depending on whether the MS is original or a fair copy, the original was clear, the scribe understood the text etc. etc.
