Okay, focusing on "there is no proof now that the gemorra sanctions<br>
post-Moshe additions, since my reading is no less valid", I'll ask:<br>
are there any commentators who suggest that Yehoshua added these<br>
pesukim independently of Moshe? If there are, then while R' Akiva's<br>
reading is valid, mine would be valid too. I unfortunately lack a<br>
Gemara at the moment.<br>
