None of the explanations for screaming look very believable to me, yet we made up a lot of them.  There are other explanations where, if you have the relevant experience, it's very obvious that the explainer made their explanation up.  I wonder if it would be good to have a way to indicate in-article that a part of the joke didn't actually strike home for any of the editors so far, and there might be a domain of expertise missing in the authorship.
