I guess it would be apropos to say correlation is not causation. There are a lot of things that seem correlated, that none-the-less have nothing to do to the cause and effect relationship. Then again, I don't know for sure, but this theory could be correct.

You can make all kinds of these broad-strokes connections. Real fun, actually, and not entirely implausible either:

Words are not facts so it s hard to verify. Who wrote History at that time ? It s a brief sentesis, no ?

A different take:

I love learning about these kinds of theories!

Very interesting for sure, but one of the biggest sins I see historians commit is that they easily jump from a plausible theoretical connection to definitive statement, without fully ruling out alternative explanations or conducting a quantitative analysis of all relevant factors.

Partly, it's because they are unable to. But also partly, because detailed analysis doesn't sell.
