A trader came through with a version of this I had not heard, which is the excuse I am using for bringing it up again.
What I am actually asking is what happened at the Doom of Valyria. I think the plain answer is the true one, and everybody has talked themselves past it.
There is a version of this where the truth is dull — a bad decision, a bad winter, nobody's grand design — and I have never once heard anybody argue for it.
Anyone who is certain about this has not thought about it long enough.
