It seems to me that your methodology is somewhat flawed, as you are on record as interpreting 4Q448 as (a) antagonistic toward Alexander Jannaeus, or (b) favorable towards Alexander Jannaeus, but written before this alleged Wicked Priest had fallen from favor with the sectarians.

It seems to me that an assessment of methodology
should refer to the method used rather than to the conclusions
drawn.
