Mark,
“This interpretation can be fluffed up by roses as much as it likes, but the bare facts are that it does not deal adequately with verse 15. It has as much of a problem with this verse, as do all the other interpretations i have seen.”

So, here again, you acknowledge that in your view, both comps and egals have great difficulties in “all” interpretations.
My question for you then is:
how in all honesty can you continue to use it at all to bolster your view?

Through your own declarations, it has become a moot point for you.
