I'm open to the idea and seeing you flesh it out.
I thought it was oddly worded, but it may be due to the blogger's editing and not Lasker. It would make better sense with a simple emendation:I think this is worst dichotomy EVER
In any event, it looks like the second option (the one that appeals to me) goes back to Paul Kahle and I want to check out this article regarding him.One view maintains that the Karaites are the direct biological or spiritual descendants of the Dead Sea sect, whose writing were preserved (underground as it were) . . . . The other possibility is that some Scrolls were discovered in the ninth century, as is recorded by the Catholicus Timothy, and their contents influenced the newly formed [Karaite] movement.

I don't see why the idea of the Sadducees or at least a neo-Sadducean tradition continuing into the seventh century is so hard for you to see.
