These ideas are more theoretical to me than factual. So yeah, they don't have to be factually correct (although they could be). Also, yes, the Muslims that I have told this to feel that this is a wrong way to look at Islam, and that all these ideas may very well be causing further misinterpretations of the Quran, although there are a few who did find them interesting. But, ultimately, no one is sure about them and neither am I.
