I think what Wallace is saying is that in the TSKS, the two substantives equal each other. Like hO QEOS KAI PATHR God and Father equal each other. But when we look at the plural substantives such as TWN FARISAIWN KAI SADDOUKAIWN, even though they both fit under the bannar of the sanhedrine they are still two different groups within the sanhedrine. So that is the problem I think.
