Some scholars, however, have laid far too much stress on the bearing of the overlapping of Mark and Q on the problem of the minor agreements. We have no right to call in the hypothesis of the influence of Q for this ulterior purpose except in places where the existence of obviously different versions, or of doublets very distinctly defined, provides us with objective evidence of the presence of Q.

Sanders (1973, 454–55) quotes Streeter’s warning and then comments,

Streeter was quite right to make this stipulation. Those who wish to explain all or most of the agreements between Matthew and Luke against Mark by attributing them to the influence of Q are simply arguing for an Ur-Gospel which very closely resembles Matthew. . . . If Q were made responsible for all these agreements, in addition to the traditional Q material, it would be very much like Matthew. To expand the theory of Mark-Q overlaps much beyond Streeter’s bounds is simply to deny the two-source hypothesis.
