I didn't say that. I just pointed out why there will
not be any russh towards reproducing ancient texts in
facsimile, or toward producing fonts for that purpose.

standardization where none exited in ancient times.
For the reproduction of linguistic content is no
facsimile is needed, and for discussing the actual marks
in MSS facsimile is not sufficient.
