You seem to be quite hung up on limb.
Dictionary.com --> Limb=a part or member of an animal body distinct from the head and trunk,
as a leg, arm, or wing
so simple english lesson for you: hadith says Prophet cut of their hands and legs. summary or paraphrase = limbs. I thought you would have more to offer but I guess not. Quite common for people who have a disdain for the Prophet.
(1) Do you still stand by your first statement that you don't believe in a limb-chopping eye-gouging prophet?
Yes, the Prophet while just was also Merciful. His administration of punishment would always fit the crime.
(2) You said "opposite hands and feet and all limbs are different." Can you confirm that you dont have an issue with cutting off opposite hands and feet but you have an issue with all limbs?
Ayah says opposite hands/foot aka limbs under specific circumstance so no issues.
(3)If yes, what do you have an issue with, the "all" part or the "limbs" part.
(a) If limbs, can you show where that is mentioned?
(b) If all, can you show where that is mentioned?
Ayah says opposite hand/foot
Narration says hands and feet
(4) Do you still stand by your statement that one only causes corruption by calling others to do or replicate it?
So that we are on the same page, corruption defined by dictionary.com:
1.
the act of corrupting or state of being corrupt.
2.
moral perversion; depravity.
3.
perversion of integrity.
4.
corrupt or dishonest proceedings.
5.
bribery.
6.
debasement or alteration, as of language or a text.
7.
a debased form of a word.
8.
putrefactive decay; rottenness.
9.
any corrupting influence or agency.
They didnt do any of the above.
(5) Do you accept the narration quoted from al Kafi?
Nope. Al-Kafi has plenty of false hadith. We do not consider any book sahih. Each hadith is validated on its own merit.
(6) Do you still stand by your statement that the verse does not apply to the one who steals and kills?
Yes.
(7) Do you accept the narration from al Kafi?
No.
( Do you accept that they plundered them? (How do you suppress the smilies?)
The hadith I quoted states they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. Where was the plundering?
(9) Do you accept retribution as a punishment?
Sure.
(10) Do you have a problem with being punished with several punishments for several crimes?
I have a problem with wrong punishment for wrong crime.
They stole - cut off their hands but why their legs?
They gouged his eyes - gouge back
They killed him - kill them
Still don't know why their legs were chopped and why they were not given water and killed while thirsty.
You may believe the Prophet capable of this things but not me.

Now my turn:
Did the ayah come first or this incident happen first (if they are related)?
If the incident happened first and then the ayah was sent, was the aah sent as a correction to the Prophet meaning he made a mistake?
If the ayah came first, then did the Prophet not see it fit to follow Allah's commands exactly and only punish them with 1 punishment?
I get it - you are trying your best to safeguard the sanctity of Bukhari at the expense of the Prophet.
