Jim, you've reached your conclusions now. You've paraded them about, so 
there's no more to say now. N-o-t-h-I-n-g. Nada.

The reasoning you've offered is very poor, speculative, and full of 
assumptions. It's like you're engaging in an extreme form of reader 
criticism. The places you purported to analyse are still very much in their 
'traditional locales' in the real world. I doubt you're going to convince 
anyone that they're not.
