Yes, of course there are other ways of bowing this depending on speed and articulation. 
My goal was to emphasize bowing with down bows on the beat, and as an exercise/etude…

Yeah, I shouldn't have said anything, but it's an illustration of the fact that a student not only needs materials, they need guidance in how to use them. In the case of bar 16, apart from the tempo, a student must also either learn bow redistribution or know how to use no bow. That bowing is useful for things like the BWV1001 fuga, but mostly for the short bursts you get there. It would be tricky and heavy trying to use it in longer passages of Mozart, or folk. Let's agree I owe you a beer.

Of course. I was considering writing alternative bowing, but figured that this is an exercise on playing down beats with down bows. I'm happy that you mentioned it.
