Nunberg suggests that George W. Bush might be a Type 4 speaker, but he
could well be a Type 5 speaker. Instances of the "nuclear"
pronunciation are so rare in his speech as to preclude the other three
possibilities.

I suggest editing that second sentence as follows:
Instances of the "nuclear" pronunciation are so rare in his PUBLISHED speech
as to preclude ASSIGNING HIM TO ANY OF the other three possibilities.
(We don't know what he says off-camera, off-recorder, etc.)
