I have given up trying to figure Mantle's specifics. This one is tough. There is hesitation, but does not appear to fall in a classic "pattern" either.
I should have also asked my follow up hypothetical. Would either of the big 2 TPA's issue a cert?

In my opinion, it has characteristics of a trace job. The "shape" is spot on, but the pressure and flow are completely off. There is what appears to be a stop and restart at the top of the i, the c is rough... And look at the super slow beginning to the a. So he flicked quickly from the M to the a... Then took forever to get the a started? Notably heavy on the downstrokes and significantly lighter on the up strokes? That isn't how Mantle signed.
