That’s a good and positive take on the puzzle. Thanks for that.
I created a new topic in which I hope we can discuss a hypothesis I have been formulating and thinking of for a while.
In short, under this hypothesis of mine, the deviation from simpler and more blunt awakening model of EBTs is explained by the eventual expiration of the first generation of stream winners. I estimate that took place any time between 250 and 50 BCE.
