People really need to pay more attention to timelines. It's a pretty frequent occurrence that someone posts some pet theory of theirs, with links to support it, but the support evaporates (or is greatly weakened) when you actually look at the dates of their sources (e.g. trying to claim a news source is not credible because they reported then-reasonable speculative estimates in a time of great uncertainty (and were clear about what they were) that were contradicted years later by a more careful scientific study).
