I am in no way arguing that your explanation of the difference between a
course and a remove is incorrect or unclear. My apologies if I have
been unclear on that.
What I saw as missing was the first use of the terms in a culinary
sense. Since the first use of "remove" is clearly post-SCA period, the
1625 date from the OED provides iron-clad evidence that anyone who
argues "remove" to be a period term of any culinary sort is incorrect.
