I, for one, would like to see the SPECIFIC statistics for this from
both parties. I appreciate what Waltz posted, but the only way for me
to be sure of his statistics is to have the citations/collation
information, esp., since the current wisdom is that the vulgate is
Alexandrian. Since something like that would be very long, perhaps it
could be posted to the TC Journal; Jim Adair says he's looking for
submissions.
