it may have been helpful to cut and paste some of Lewis' text to give shape to your poll questions. if i remember correctly, Lewis spends several chapters establishing his logical grounds for eliminating all but the LLL possibilities.
as i, and others, have said before... it isn't really fair to compare the early gospel formations to a game of telephone. it ignores both the true nature of the source material and the social context of it being passed on in a society heavily reliant on the preservation of an accurate oral tradition.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
~ Winston Churchill
