The spiderman analogy is one of the weakest rhetorical tactics I’ve ever heard of.
If the hypothetical archaeological discovery of a spiderman artifact were to hold water, there would also have to be accounts of two or three dozen disciples who were executed rather than denying their hero could actually shoot steel-strong webs from his wrists while swinging from skyscraper to skyscraper in pursuit of bad guys.
That account would be found in Spiderman Issue #124.

As an aside, ever wonder why 'Spidey' hasn't been arrested for his blatant pollution of the city with his used webbing? I mean even the EPA should be after him big time!
Yes, I'm sure that there is an explanation of how there is a dissolving factor in the mythos to explain how they disappear. I can recall reading the very first Spiderman Comics in the various newsstands and stores but such outré stuff was never permitted to pass into my home. So much for having a mint-condition #1 to be worth scads of moola today!
