orion-list More Detail vs. Less Detail - - Hippolytus vs. Josephus?

Dierk says: 
> Josephus was Hippo's source (see Stegemann and others)...

I can't agree.  If Hippolytus used Josephus as his source (or his
sole principal source), he would have written something much
**more** like Josephus, and **less** specific, not **more**
specific.
