King Carp, what you found is interesting as you stated. The possibility isn't completely ruled out, just no supporting evidence found at this time. The Editor may have believed what he said as true, possibly misled, maybe not. We have much more resources at our fingertips that he could not have imagined at the time of his writing. I have chased down some rabbit holes and posted on this forum, only to find out I went down the wrong hole or there was no rabbit. But I am still spending some time trying to find little morsels of the Krag mystique. Sometimes I believe I do, not that everybody will be as interested in it as I am. I encourage you to keep on posting things you find interesting. Everybody is pretty respectable on this forum, which I can't say I have always found on other forums.
