It's possible, and I thank you for the hearty round of laughter. We would need clarification from Valo. Until then, I'm extending Valo the benefit of the doubt that Valo has more self-awareness than say, LeeUniverse/ldsfaqs.

Easy. The witnesses to the supposed "longer scroll" didn't describe any unique features that aren't in the papyrii that we still have.

Or I'll be happy when I get through high school and am an adult and can do what I want. Or perhaps...
