OP has a legitimate inquiry, but you dismiss it with an appeal to authority? Researchers miss things all the time. But if they considered it and rejected it, then it still makes it a valid question doesn’t it?

My question was equally valid to me. I didn't understand the GP's question to be dismissive or ignorant, I just want to learn where they're coming from.

Ignorance is all it is - and not in a bad way. They don't know something, they're curious about it, so they're asking. It's legitimately as simple as that.
