That's all I'm saying. You seemed like you were already fully onboard with this bold new theory, and I'm reminding everyone that we need to wait until it's the kind of mainstream theory you'd find in textbooks and curricula before we get too excited.

The theory was only a small, even peripheral, part of what I was saying in explaining how Joseph's ancestry could be known all the way from Abraham. It actually has nothing to do with the question or the answer, but only an interesting sidelight, almost more like an illustration, of how genealogical lines can converge. Don't let it be an obstacle what I was saying. If you're more comfortable just ignoring that part of the paragraph, please do so. It was not a fundamental block of what I was saying. Thanks.
