Can Matt pick and choose when ‘a woman’ is used to mean singular particular as in v.14, it is said that ‘a woman’ refers to ‘Eve’, but then in v.11 & 12, Matt will say that Paul’s usage of the singular is generic for all women.

Was tradition consistent? Did it interpret ‘a woman’ in v.11, 12 AND 14 to mean generic for all women and this is why all women were thought to be deceived, or easily deceived? Why do some pick and choose today in the passage when the grammaticaly singular is generic and also singular, particular?
