It was hardly an explanation. A hypothesis, perhaps. And not a good one. Swords suspended by a baldric, with rounded knuckleguards and even with compicated laces and rings or with a wide cup, were used widely by
infantry and cavalry. No problem with the rib cage or mounting a horse, re: the rapier.
