I'm not the person telling facts here. Perhaps it was the other way
around or perhaps they "all" had different tricks.

I just took the opportunity to point out that those guys back there
noticed something, but couldn't really explain it and therefore were
considered ignorant outsiders and ridiculed. Not until now we perhaps
have the knowledge to understand what they were doing.
I though it was possible that some members involved here had
something to learn from that...
