A subsequent text which is 81% word for word a previous version is a copy. If you look at the differences, they are almost exclusively down to literary flourishes or interpretations. The KJA is in part a political book, its significance as a tool to further legitimise the Anglican church in a very turbulent time cannot be underestimated. As such, the 20% (under a quater) of different words are generally rhetorical updates to bring a translation of an old text into a more contemporary idiom. And generally, they mean the same thing in gist.
I do not see what your point is. I said the KJA is in no small part cribbed directly from tynsdale, and that is true. Of the remaining new pieces, they are generally *not* substantially different in meaning or significance.
