Bulge-activation hypothesis: is it valid?

This essay is a critique of a revolutionary hypothesis, and of the language used to frame it, that offers a novel interpretation for the dynamics of the follicular cycle by distinguishing, distinctly, germinative cells in the bulge from matrical cells in the bulb. Curiously, this intriguing "bulge-activation hypothesis" elicited practically no response in the scientific literature, and our critique is designed to rectify that.
