Who said the Internet was definitive?  And neither is the quote provided.  Reread my response.  I checked the Internet and found nothing.  The contributor of the information must provide more definitive supporting evidence of dreadlocks not just "matted locks."  (And who cares about chicle  not "chewing gum")?  The wording has been changed to be speculative, rather than reflective of an unsubstantiated, definitive conclusion reached, so far as I can tell, by only the contributor.
