This is an argument that can also be used to "prove" that we don't know
which Red River the song "Red River Valley" is about, because while we
know it was known across Canada before it was popularized in the US, we
don't know who wrote it or where, so it's possible (if howlingly
unlikely) for it to have been written about the one in Texas and the
historical record just somehow missed any reference to it.
