Exactly. And its not as if I hold this view in some sort of passion.

Just point me at a valid (hopefully published) source - I spend 3 hours

Sure plates tuck and over run, and have been doing it for some time - 
but the distance travelled to place those materials where they ended 
up, particularly in the case you cite, doesn't seem to add up.
