Perhaps I'm being naive, but if 7Q5 is itself but a fragment, it
seems rather a large leap to immediately assume that it is an excerpt of
Mark when it is _at least_ as probable that Mark was simply using a
common piece of folklore of the time. I.e., that Mark was "quoting" 7Q5,
or most likely a common source.

Gotta watch those inductive leaps--particularly the ones which
confirm ones "worldview".

Ciao.
