That's definitely one of the theories going around, but I'm finding more people who view this as pretty forced ejection and not something that everyone just agreed to-- most specifically Mr. Kirby himself.

But him having landed so successfully elsewhere does make it kinda interesting. Will take a few days to really get good intel on exactly why this happened.
