neutral  TechLawDC: "Einzelnen" describes substantially more loci (instances) than "vereinzelt". "No change" needs to be emphasized as rarer, e.g. "in a few instances" or "in isolated instances" or "a few" etc.

  -> While technically you may be right that einzelne means more than vereinzelt (but not substantially more, just a touch more), in the interest of keeping it simple, I oped for my version. You can be sure that the doc who wrote this is not a linguist.
