I agree whole heartily with your last sentence, we possess the knowledge to be speculative rather than authoritative. Our past attempts at authoritative have needed to be re-written. There is no indication the present attempts will not need to be re-written.
I love the subject even if in the end all our prattle on it will make us appear to future generations as fools.

The water level has risen about 500 feet in the last 25K years. Which means the average water level rise was around 0.25 inches per year...Most of that rise occurred early in the time period and is considered by some as the source of the "great flood" story.
Take a look at the sea floor maps showing 500 foot depth. All of that was above water. The area of migration to the Western Hemisphere was well north of the bearing straight.
