Bogie, I'm sorry, but I think you crawled a little too far out on your limb here.
I'm going to address some points.
I will note, that Carole has posted twice, in that thread only. There is no indication that she will return to read the ATM thread. I do not know this... But it leads me to think that you, Bogie, are addressing more than just Carole here.
This thread addressed those questions with non falsifiable speculations. Well heck- religion can do that and it can make it MUCH easier to understand
God did it.
This caution is necessary.
Folks tend to read an article of some kind and carry off from it only what they liked and want to remember- and will then treat it as fact.
Very necessary cautions...
You cannot explain it any better than the Mainstream can.
You are guessing here with 'reasonable and responsible' speculations- and although they are interesting, it is not science. It is speculation. I can speculate very interesting ideas too- or even strange, absurd or wacky ones.
Granted, you did avoid the absurd, wacky or strange- your 'explanations' are NOT explanations- they remain what they are- Speculations without much anything in the way of evidence.
Bogie- as I listed above- this statement is just plain wrong.
Folks are not denying any reader the right to read your speculations.
They did CAUTION readers to understand the True Nature of your speculations- which you refer to constantly as explanations- they are not.
You occasionally call them reasonable and responsible speculations but it seems strained to me.
Like you are making an effort. I think inside your head- you believe- faithfully- that they are explanations.
THAT is why the Caution is so very important.
Maybe some day your speculations will have a chance. But until that time- don't kid yourself about what they are...
And to be even more blunt- I really doubt Poor Carole would have the time or the energy to studiously follow the linked ATM thread you created - considering that it frankly boggled MY mind and she was asking some very basic questions!
ETA: I just noticed that Capt Swoop summed it up much faster than I
