"You can't just take any passage you like from the PTs and extrapolate it back in time just because it supports the OCT, or any other theory. "

that pretty well sums it up Joe. While it's a good bet and sound logic to assume that a majority of the references in the texts can be connected to as far back as Pre dynastic traditions... On an Utterance by utterance basis, it is still an arbitrary exercise until connecting evidence PROOVES otherwise.

IOW's the PT's ARE indicative but NOT conclusive.
