Baur and some of his colleagues dated John late simply because of its
theological development (which they viewed as more advanced than the
Synoptics).  But, in their defense, they did not know of the existence of the
earlier papyri fragments.
Thus, they dated the material according to a set of criteria- and they would
CERTAINLY adjust their views according to new findings.
