This assumption, however, has gone against more recent discoveries in textual criticism where numerous examples have been found in every text stream. The situation has therefore been rapidly changing in favor of recognition of the evidence of copyist haplography.
In 1796 a supposition for text criticism was that the shortest reading among manuscripts was preferable. Among the qualifications was if “an omission could have been caused by homoioteleuton” (Griesbach, Prolegomena), an inadvertent copyist skip to a similar sequence of letters. However, this qualification for two hundred years has been largely dismissed, partly on the assumption that early text streams don’t have copyist haplography.
