Do people recognize that there are manuscripts of 940 Mushaf's (Hard-Copy Qur'an) from the Sana'a Mosque (the place where the Sana'a Palimpsest is found? They're all identical to each other.....
The Problem with the Sana'a Palimpsest is not the Upper text: The upper text is identical to what we have today. The problem is the lower, rubbed text. But the logic here is this: If 1+1=3 and you found it to be rubbed, does that mean it's true?
This is just one fallacy. The Palimpsest is a personal copy of a student in the Madrasa of the Sana'a Mosque. The text disheveled, inexcusable grammatical mistakes, personal notes such as "don't say Bismillah" were found in the lower, rubbed layer.
Other continuous errors such as the squeezing of وا in many instances purport that the student acknowledged his mistakes. The lower layer wasn't a neat copy at all, let alone one to be in the official circulation ordered by the Caliph Uthman.
Now this is the lower layer. The Upper layer completely refutes the errors sustained in the lower layer, on top of that the 940 other Mushaf manuscripts of the same Mosque, dating all the way from the 1st century of Islam to its 7th century (15th century).
On top of that the Imams of Mecca would write down whom they were taught by and whom they taught. A succinct biography is written about each, with remarks.
Had the Sana'a Palimpsest's Lower Layer text C-1 according to the analyst Uwe Bergmann, the effect would be visible today.
