Parrott's hypothesis appears to be just that, like the hypothesis that Bach intended his cantatas to be performed one on a part, but copied extra vocal parts just for the heck of it!!

Parrot's hypothesis (or rather J. Rifkin's) is precisely based on the absence of "extra" vocal parts.

Well, the only Bach score I've studied in that kind of depth is the Johannespassion, and there were definitely copies of the voice parts with the solos and copies of the ripieno voice parts without the solos.
