MODERATORS
That's been a common theory for many years but it's between "eeeh, maybe" and debunked.
Here's a tip: don't publicly theorise about things that you have close to no knowledge about. This shouldn't have to be said.
Your tip is actually really bad. Getting opinions from people who aren't metalworkers or archaeologists or anthropologists is often how answers to these questions are discovered. There are many inventions/discoveries/realizations that are made from people in different trades approaching problems differently.
Do you actually have debunktions for it at hand?
Also, it's a meme forum. Why shouldn't people be allowed to spitball here? It's not like they made some absolute claim to truth.
Nothing wrong with discussing shit you're not an expert on. If it's not proven, it's not proven, they're not hurting anything by suggesting their ideas. You don't have to be an expert to do that. Maybe someone will come up with something no one has thought of before that could then be investigated by experts.
