          Sorry, let me rephrase that and see if it’s more easily parsed:

          What is it you think is going on here, and how does your explanation explain these three authors’ situation?

              Ah. If that’s the case, you might want to work on your own phrasing. There’s a strong implication in your initial statement that you have a hypothesis, but you wanted to be coy with it, so I attempted to draw you out. I was hoping it was something interesting.
