Well spoken!
Only, even if they did really stir up some new ideas in the Arthurian Soup, I cannot but wonder how much their influence has grown. Based on such a narrow footing as you mentioned above, their impact seems far too big. Sarmatians are as accepted in Arthurian Britain as elves, and with probably similar roots in reality. Sarmatians are 'hot', books and movies are full of them, the uninformed public at large has accepted them lock stock and barrel.
With their discussion of Arthurian Matter and Sarmatian Myth, they have managed to enter the Sarmatians into British Mythology - no small feat.
