Prof is spouting jibberish. After all, I'm discussing literature. I don't know what he's getting at.
I take the two accounts as two different authors. Like in exodus where Moses goes up the mountain and gets different sets of tablets. Or the variations in pagan myths of the same time and place. Subtle variations are common, and when the stories were being written down they just included both.
