Carl,

I failed to provided the obvious restrictions to this remark. It applies
only to pericope level divisions within the Synoptic Gospels and perhaps to
a few isolated cases in John. Even then one needs to read Dungan's book* to
understand the point and the whole issue is off topic and not one I would
bother to argue about even if it were on topic.
