Akhi Dave,
I think the part of Rev. Bauscher's work that involves mathematical modeling on signs of translation is fascinating stuff. Any evidence of the Peshitta's originality does have great value here, especially if it points to the Greek being dependent on the Aramaic.
The benefit to our mission, of course, would be that people who are exposed to this research may come here to learn more about the Aramaic NT. It may gather for us a wider audience. Whether they are believers already, or not, that can only be a good thing.
