Uh... you tell me? I could imagine many possible answers to all of those questions.

Just like superstring theory offers many possible solutions to any theoretical question?

If you think whether certain people knew of the linked idea is relevant or important, then you should focus on the most likely answer, not enumerate all possible ones.

Why is this the most likely answer? Or even an answer you think there is a non-zero percent likelihood of? I don't see any evidence of that. I would think it's relevant and important if I knew of any such evidence, but I don't know of any, and also would probably bet there isn't any.
