one or another = ?

Here's a situation where the present perfect [PP] is just marginal. I say marginal because the strong tendency is to not use the PP when it is accompanied by such a direct reference past time adverbial connoting a single event, ie. "In another post".

With a general past time adverbial, eg. 'before', there would be no hesitation [though there would also be no compulsion] in using the PP,

You've replied to me before with ...

even if the speaker meant a one time event.

There are times when we override this tendency when we want to use the PP of current importance. If Ori was speaking in a strident/angry/emotional fashion, I'd say that the PP is a possibility here.

One thing that you must keep in mind, Ori, is that this override tendency that I spoke of is not at all common. It's found mostly, when it's found, in news stories where there is a great tendency to want to make the news seem as current, and therefore as important as possible.

It's not at all common in speech because the alternative of using the simple past tense exists, especially in NaE.

Did this get answered?

one or another autoimmune phenotype = one type of autoimmune phenotype or another.

i.e. from the range of a.p.'s, select one or other.

Hi JPB. Noted, but not understood. The scientific parts I must leave to you and others. Grateful for your efforts though, most illuminating.

Oristar, no, one or another does not mean one + another.
It means "any one" (from an specified sample).

And sometimes in translation, we need to catch its meaning while ignoring its appearances.
