Replace that paragraph with:
I originally took your point of view, but now I'm convinced of the
other perspective.  The fact is that all early sources, including
Books of Maccabees, Megillas Ta'anis and our text of Al HaNissim refer
just to the military victory and not to the nes pach ha'shemen.  (For
more on this, see David Berger's article at

and an article at
