I'm having trouble seeing how any of this is relevant to the falx?

I've seen nothing to suggest that the falx was specifically designed to be used in battle.
I've seen nothing to suggest that it was a better cutter than a dozen other blades in use at the time.
I've seen nothing to suggest that falxmen played a prominent role in any Dacian victory against the Romans.
