    The peoole writing this shit arent agricultural workers, theyre basically medieval shitposters. Got a wild speculation? Dont waste your time investigating it, just put it to print!

      Mendel was a monk for a reason. It's a job that puts you in close contact with nature but in a more comfortable position than a farmer so you have the time to think about things. A lot of monasteries kept bees for extra income and were the scriptoriums producing stuff like this. Of all the agricultural knowledge that seems like it would be accurate in that era, you'd think it would be stuff they're in such close proximity to.

      also, what kind of man keeps boxes with slugs and worms and creepy crawlies in them in some intentional manner that feels, to me an authority figure, ritualistic?

      A WARLOCK in league with THE DEVIL.
