If it is your position that the Simon of Cyrene tradition is untraceable, I have to wonder why your response was to the person asking for evidence of an asserted trace.

The explanation I was asking for was not even an explanation of the tradition itself. It was an explanation of the assertion that was made about that tradition (specifically, the assertion that Simon of Cyrene somehow shades into Simon of Gitta and so forth).

You are surely not saying that it was wrong of me to ask for evidence of that assertion, are you?

Certainly not.

Just put it down to my not having traced the conversation back far enough.
