Exactly. Terminology aside, why make it more complicated than it has to be?
Objections of interpolation, or creating a antecedent based, as you said
earlier, on theological (or perhaps, I would say, contextual) grounds is simply
wasted effort when there is a perfectly good grammatical explanation waiting in
the wings -- in fact, not even in the wings, right out on center stage.
