Mike's survey of 18 commentaries on Nympha's leadership: only 3 of 18 agree
Mike conducts his own commentary survey to test the 'most commentators' claim.
Of 18 commentaries surveyed (including egalitarian ones), only 3 lean toward Nympha being some kind of vague leader (not overseer). One of the 3 says it's 'far from certain,' another says she 'might have been' if hosting equals leading. 14 of 18 either deny leadership or don't even acknowledge the possibility. Mike concludes 3 out of 18 is not 'most commentators' and calls this questionable scholarship.
