Difference is that the Wright Bros project actually flew!

This one is just one of many theories that is a bit of a long shot that might turn out to have some element of fact about it, but no way of knowing that.

Comparing it to an historic accomplishment like the birth of powered flight is going a bit too far at this stage.
The difference is that the Wright Brothers were able to find a practical solution to prove that their theory was correct.

What seems to be the mental stumbling block for some people is that they believe that if something cannot be proven, it cannot be possible.

It's easy to shoot down anyone if you use this simple argument.
