And what if one drops the tablet while standing on the sacrificial rock?
Is there a standard for how to handle clay tablets while standing on
hard surfaces? Should more than one copy be scribed in case one must
read from the tablet while standing on a hard surface or in case of
flood and standing water for a period of time prior to complete setting
of the clay? Is there a manufacturing standard regarding the ratio of
straw to clay to water and specific baking time? Is there a standard
regarding the care and feeding of clay tablets to prevent cracking or
breaking while in carriage or in storage? Are there preferred storage
environmental requirements equating to a particular LE? What about the
recommended stylus point and clay consistency during scribing to insure
legibility?

Yes but can I trust the data in the baking process? Could not there be
some alteration or degradation in the baking process?
