Your explanation is not really parsimonious as it doesn't, for example, account for the differences between the genealogies that well.

No, you just need to add one set of parentheses or a couple of commas to reach my position. That's far less than an entire Q source that was so well distributed that two gospel writers used it, but yet so rare that not a single copy survived.
The better explanation should account for everything, similarities and differences. Yours doesn't, and it shows from the fact that you didn't address the rest of my argument.
