Identity of the man in dative in Matthew

Jesus tends to use nouns as key words. And Jesus tends to use nouns in a particular case (e.g., dative, genitive, etc.) in a particular way.

"ανθρωπω" ≈ "man" (dative singular)

In Matthew, Jesus uses the noun "man" in the dative case in a particular way nine times in Matthew. One of these verses is used in a way different than the usual interpretation.

As often happens, the TR (Textus Receptus) uses the word in that case in an inappropriate way that breaks the model. The TR adds this noun in the dative case one time in a way that breaks the model.

Matthew sometimes uses this word in filling in connecting commentary and appears to be unaware of any special meaning for a given word in a given case, etc. Such verses will be omitted.

Instead of allowing "man" to be inferred, the TR adds "man" in the dative case which breaks the model.

Think in a counter-factual way. Considering Matthew 11:11, discuss the following.

Would Judas have been "greater" in the "kingdom" of "heaven" if he had been conceived but not then "born" of "women"?
