Two hands is two scribes. When someone insists that it might as well have been one person, this is usually theory-driven.
I don't have any doubt in the professionalism of the assessment, but I do in the applicability of this assessment to unique scripts of completely unknown nature. I don't think we know which variations of the script are semantical, which are decorative (stylistic, related to topic) and which are technical (different tools, different scribes, etc). There are threads arguing if d j g or k Z are different letters or not. Many changes in the character statistics and in the character shapes at the same time between A and B may be explained by using a different encoding with two distinct characters sets (typical A t and B t as two different codes) instead of saying that these are two different scribes that use two slightly different languages or codes for some reason.
