Aquila.... As stated before for the most part your position and that of many commentaries is speculation at best. They all have different opinion and many contradictive. As Paul does not even bring up heeding local custom. Sure veiling in part was common but you can't relegate veiling to simply something you can do away with. It is not a sign just to us but to the angels etc... They expect distinction in the divine order when in ministry when one is acting as part of the body. Veiling gives the significance of position in the body and headship. God always has a parallel of the spiritual to the physical. You are attempting to negate the representive aspect that Paul says a woman should do. God always uses signs of something to represent the heart even if they are not true at heart. It still does not negate that which is desired by God. Baptism is a perfect example it is the appointed time to be united with Christ. Does the water or faith save? They both combine to be that which God desires. So it is with veiling!
