I think you might want to re-examine that line of reasoning Ed. No non-
fundamentalist modern scholars that I know of accept Pauline authorship of 1
or
2 Timothy - they, along with Titus, form the group called the pastoral
epistles, well known forgeries written long after Paul was dead.

For anyone else interested in the topic of authenticity of the pastorals,
one can check Introduction to the New Testament, separate books written by
W.G. Kummel and Raymond Brown.  And thanks to Achilles for running down that
reference on the computer analysis - I can't tell you how long I've been
looking for that.  For what it's worth, the pastorals are lacking in P46 and
appear not to have been part of Marcion's "canon".
