Tongue Still in Cheek, I Hope

I've just reread Dr. Tabor's revision of the paragraph in question and noticed another interesting modification that has formed in his position. Compare the statement of his position in the original writing to its revised form:

Original Statement
"My own view is that the ossuary of the N.T. “Mary and Martha” has already been found on the Mt. of Olives ..."

Revised Statement
"Up to this point my own view, with Bagatti and others, is that an ossuary that well might refer to the N.T. “Mary and Martha ... has already been found on the Mt. of Olives ..." (emphasis mine). This is a significant modification in the statement of Dr. Tabor’s position, which seems to be exceptionally fluid and elastic construct. I hope his statement that his original remarks were written "tongue in cheek" is also still his position.

I only point out the observable microevolution of his positon so that I can point this out: If Dr. Tabor should further modify his "tongue in cheek" remarks about linking the "Mariamenou/Mara" ossuary with Mary and Matha of Bethany to the point that he adopts it wholesale, then it would seem to me that my original criticism of presuppositional bias and circular reasoning would stand. And it would seem to me that the passion driving Mr. Tabor's obsession with the Talpiot tomb is colored by his apriori, faith-commitment to that tomb being the "Jesus Family tomb."
