I don't see much value in the seemingly endless speculation about who knew what and when they knew it, in some distant time in a distant place. It doesn't change what we have now. It doesn't even have any real influence on what people do now.
It comes across as someone - whether the Chens, the Yangs or others or their followers - with some self-interest trying to convince the rest of the world of their particular world view. There are lots of people who want to force-feed their particular view of the world on others. I don't have much patience for that. True scholarly inquiry is one thing, pushing one's belief-system on others is another.
As an objective, constructive suggestion, you need to have a proof reader to identify and correct grammatical errors. Every writer should have one.

I am not addressing the actual origin of the art. Well I do, sort of at least, but not stating any actual originator or inventor. This is mostly about Yang Luchan, what he learned and taught.

...And as I am bored AF, that would be fun to know...
