You didn't go un-noticed - just unremarked upon <grin>. I must say I'm intrigued by your contention that an excess of levodopa actually serves to shut down the natural dopamine system. If this is the case I would think that a direct correlation could be drawn between size of dose first prescribed and speed of progression of the disease. I would imagine that there is a vast amount of uncollected evidence relating to this, just waiting for some candidate for a masters degree to collect and collate it.
