The independent record is deficient and incomplete, so why would it be logical to find an answer to a question with an incomplete record?
Relying upon a relatively empty transcript is a not a basis to dismiss theories based on clues within the text itself. That's the basis of academic textual critical analysis. That's what Skousen has been doing with the Amlicite versus Amalekite issue.
