The problem here may have been that I did not want to assert as a certainty what I established on the basis of conjecture.
Namely, principally on the basis that at the time of printing, at some remove from the time of composition, the chronicle's deliberate politics did not make sense anymore, and that moreover they seem at odds with the broader work in which the chronicle was embedded by the printer/publisher, and that on the basis of those observations it is likely that the printer/publisher did not understand the chronicle's politics.
