I wrote

«that the Nusach Ashkenaz at EG KAJ is not the
> "pristine" Nusach Ashkenaz of the Rishonim.«

Akiva Miller responded
. For example, someone else might have ended the above line with comments like:

... is not the original Nusach Ashkenaz of the Rishonim.»

Ok now I'm stumped!   How does the term "pristine" differ than the term original?
