    Same vibes as this video with Adam Savage. Apparently this piece of armour was a big mystery with tons of different drawings etc trying to place it as horse armour when Adam almost immediately correctly identifies it when first looking at it.

    This is the power of diverse experience where experts can have a blind spot that’s easily solved by others that have a different perspective.

        Well it took them 50 years to figure out, whereas Adam guessed it immediately.

          Didn’t they confirm it after 50 years? They had suspicions in different directions, including crotch armor?

            Yeah this is the key point in all of this. You can speculate forever, until you can confirm it your confidence will be very low.
