That's a bit silly. If there is a direct literary relationship between Mark // *Ev, why don't you simply show that from the texts themselves, rather than resorting to an idiosyncratic and widely unaccepted claim by Vinzent (this so-called "argument"), which isn't even held by everyone who thinks *Ev preceded Luke?I thought (and still think) that this has been proved by Vinzent's argument that the Gospels were written all in the same place, all in the same interval of time.Then prove that *Ev // Mark needed to know each other directly
Why were they in the same place? Because in 135 CE a lot of Christians went to Rome and founded schools there.
Why did they go to Rome? To escape the war.
Why just that war? Only read Mark 13.
Why a short interval of time? Because Justin knew about *Ev but not still the canonical gospels.
The gospel and letters were written in an environment of free exchange of ideas and underwent a number of revisions. In this way the variant early versions of gospels and letters can be explained.

I am justified to remove these variants that don't align strictly with Marcionite theology. Were them even in *Ev itself.
