It doesn't replace the ending that the author chose.

I'm with Iguana on this one. I can't imagine that anybody other than writers and scholars are genuinely interested. And maybe Hemingway himself is spinning in his grave. But from the writer point of view, to witness the ascended masters blundering around has the effect of humanizing them. I don't know what those 47 alternate endings look like, but I'd be encouraged if some of them were dumb. That would offer a shred of hope, regardless how self-delusional the thinking behind that might be.
