This is a non-answer worthy of the great Edgar himself. You have a theory
that doesn't solve any unanswered questions and that (apparently) makes no
testable predictions.

Feel free to prove me wrong on both those points. I will be very, very
pleased on your behalf if you can, because (a) I'm interested in a theory
with genuine predictive power, and (b) I too have spent almost twenty years
writing a series of fantasy novels (seriously!) So believe me, I know how
you will feel if your masterwork collapses under scrutiny.

But otherwise, let the hand-waving commence.
