I can't say I have a thorough rational understanding of the various details of alchemy but in general I tend to approach things by absorbing ideas and perhaps forgetting the rational details and being left with an effect. So like a river in ancien...
"Considering that we are talking about the dawn of men, proving anything is impossible"

To extend upon what I meant by 'unproven' I should say that there could be reasons for certain information to remain 'unproven' (or hidden ...
At the wikipedia page it says
