I refer you to the references you ignored posted above.
I don't have direct access to the text of the article, but I do repeat my question on the quoted text: Does that article state that crust stretching requires recent global expansion or are you assuming that?

If it does discuss recent global expansion, perhaps you could provide a short quote from the article? Thanks.
