Personally, I would treat Sujato's "pot calling" with a grain of salt
We can read essays by Sujato such as
Rebirth and the Inbetween State
which simply display another sectarian
The interpretation of the Four Noble Truths and other suttas is certainly dubious in this essay
Such an interpretration essentially conform the Commentary Tradition
What all traditions share in common, including Sujato, is they are interpretations of the suttas
I can only suggest that Bhante Sujato, with his attempt at establishing a "historical scholarly dogma", is setting a bad example for those with an attraction to scholarship
Much of this "historical" scholarship is arguable just speculative theory
Bhante Sujato is a disciple of Ajahn Brahm, whose published teachings on Dependent Origination are not in accord with reality
Ajahn Brahm uses DN 15 as his primary source but DN 15 contradicts the scores of other suttas on the subject
Ajahn Brahm also seems to contradict Ajahn Chah's teachings on Dependent Origination, so which is right?
The division between an ultimate truth and a conventional truth exists in the suttas
The Buddha taught the doctrine of momentariness
With real metta
