Peace and blessings, Paul.
I can only recall, time and time again, of the suggestion that it is beyond Syriac Christians to alter their books. This suggestion was meant to set the Syriac tradition apart from the Greek tradition. It laid the groundwork for one of your arguments against Old Syriac, since the parchment displayed signs of erasing in the background. This, for you, was one reason why Old Syriac and the Peshitta beared no genetic relationship because assuming that the Peshitta was always the authoritative version for the Syriac Church, they would never treat it as they evidently treated "Old Scratch."
