According to us, the wedges visible in A in bar 15 (repeated in FE) and at the beginning of bar 16 (omitted) remained non-deleted as a result of Chopin's distraction. The distraction is proven by the rhythmic error committed earlier in this bar, while the intention to delete the staccato signs is proven by deletions of the signs or entire chords in the 1st half of bar 15 and a few previous bars. In the main text, we give three wedges in bar 16, added probably by Chopin in FC (→GE) and signalised also in EE (cf. bar 16).
