No joke intended -- this precisely illustrates my point.  The KJV still
would appear to be the predominant text in Iowa or other rural areas, even
though all other translations combined might outnumber it.  So too with
the Byzantine Textform in the Roman Empire -- all local text MSS combined
might indeed outnumber it, but it nevertheless might remain dominant.
