I didn't say anything about the Samaritan text, and as I indicated in
another post on this thread, I would not be surprised to learn that it
does exist in digitized format. As for whether it can pass some sort of
test as well or better than any particular version of the Masoretic
text, you'll have to forgive me if I reserve judgement. What if some
Samaritans find all sorts of great connections to *their* leaders,
yahrtzeits, etc?

Whatever the case, the Samaritan text has nothing to do with the 
issues I posted.
