I think anyone who begins with presuppositions—for instance, “this book is true and accurate”—will find ways to justify absurdities and contradictions in order to “prove it.” It’s interesting to compare the different contrivances each person comes up in order to do so, however. Anyway, your working theory won’t hold: both authors are describing the same events/timeframe; the women ran and said nothing to anyone out of fear at the same time they ran to share the good news and met the Messiah himself, upon him be peace, on the way. As to my own explanation? Simple, the text was changed, accidentally and deliberately, over time, which makes it quite a rollercoaster source for guidance regarding one’s eternal destination.
