Thank you for your post. You gave several references I need to read. The key thought in the quoted sentence is a perceived inconsistency.I've asked multiple questions that readers have assumed arose in a single context. They didn't. In fact, some of the contexts are mutually exclusive.
Given that threads once posted tend to have a life of their own, conflation should be expected [see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflation . Especially the 1st two paragraphs and the example of the "floating bride"].
I'll likely not have opportunity for a more complete response until tomorrow.
