Taboos had nothing to do with Itzcoatl's reply.  Common sense and
fact were all he presented.

Yes, but as a scientist, I can tell you that many hypotheses are
nonsense, just as this particular hypothesis is nonsense.  It's
utterly ridiculous, both from the standpoint of human nutrition and
existing cultural histories.  It is the product of an ethnocentric
European mind with too little imagination.  Finally, it is utterly
inappropriate for this forum.

Can we end this here, and get back to the forum's purpose?
