Essentially, your case is both speculative and is a show of someone trying to make excuses for a device that has little reason to exist and was presented poorly, adding to this confusion to begin with. I'm sure they'll go back and say "There's TOTALLY dynamis in LB now, trust", but we can't pretend like that doesn't add to the contrived nature.

Using your logic, I can say LB's also rely on the power provided by invisible extra-dimensional pink elephants with psychic abilities. You wouldn't be able to deny me, as I can state that the EE had no knowledge thereof, so clearly I have a case that cannot be discounted despite how outrageously ridiculous the notion may be. This is why I'm averse to the idea even with these trace avenues of justification because even they will fail to adequately represent something we should have had at least an inkling about long ago.

This was just poor writing, plain and simple. Given the great work we've received before, I'm disappointed we've resorted to the literary equivalent of "ive got a special gun that none of the other kids can protect against because its super omega sekrit and pourfull" on the playground.
Here's the thing, science does this ALL THE TIME. It builds a hypothesis, it's proven wrong or right. If wrong, it's adjusted, continue until proven right. We learned about Akasa from a researcher, aka a scientist. We learned about Dynamis from a researcher, aka a scientist. We had confirmation of its existence when suddenly things started appearing from nothing, and returned into nothing, something that should not have been possible from what we know about aether. Y'shtola herself noted that there was 0 aether at the spots that the Terminus were at. This confirms the existence of something other than aether powering them, because they wouldn't be able to react with the world otherwise. We then go to the past a while later and find out it's called Dynamis. We've already seen PROOF that it exists because something that shouldn't exist DID exist.

We literally fly to the end of the universe, the Loporrits themselves mentioning that there's nothing there. Meteion appears, messes with our heads, Thancred proceeds to strike at her and we black out. We wake up at the same location, with suddenly things being there when there wasn't before. We have LITERALLY seen impossible things, and you're trying to give an excuse for why it is impossible for LBs to have dynamis in them, despite all this?
