I'm an ass.
The script failed when I removed the writeto instructions because I failed to remove a parameter in the instruction calling the handler and in the handler's entry one.
They were :
my letsDoNumbers(a, b, c, d, e, path2log)
on letsDoNumbers(p, q, r, s, t, path2log)

but they were supposed to be :

my letsDoNumbers(a, b, c, d, e)
on letsDoNumbers(p, q, r, s, t)

I took the opportunity to make other changes.
I no longer store the path to the spreadsheet in a property because I dislike to store variable values in properties : these ones are saved on disk and it's not a good thing - mainly if we sign the scripts.

I define the name of the spreadsheet in a property so that we no longer face the original oddity when the name was different in the code supposed to define the path and the one supposed to speak to the document in the handler.
Writing this property on disk is not a problem because, as it's not modified during execution there is no attempt to write something when running.
