So you make zero attempt to answer some questions, instead repeating your very tired mantras.

One last attempt then on just one of the questions to make it simpler, and please try to actually give a cogent answer and not more mantras.
Why are sections of the PT prefaced with the instruction to "Repeat X times" if they are not, in your odd way of thinking, instructions to a lector conducting the liturgy of what is very clearly an AE Missa Defunctorum.
