Not saying you need to write a dissertation, but the propagation of historical “facts” on social media is rampant and contributes to a fair amount of misconceptions that historians and archaeologists and others have to work against.

And it doesn’t take much to say, oh so and so suggests it’s this rather than a general “many historians say...” As an educator I have to get my adult students to unlearn all this stuff they read, and often they push back against that.

I mean you did state it with some authority with “many historians”. The fact is that the source they rely on is v. difficult to use b/c of the transmission and space of time between the event and the text. The fact is that the origin of nursery rhymes are very hard to pinpoint.
