This is the first record in the whole programme to carry TWO sectarian parentage accounts side by side, and the kinds say which is which on their face. It is a better outcome than either choosing one or dropping both: a registry that indexes traditions should be able to hold the fact that two schools of the same tradition answer the same question differently.
