No, I don't have a theory or a decent hypothesis, just a general experiment. What fascinates and infuriates me is how the boundaries of Rock Art are so clearly defined and how rock art from beyond the confines is utterly ignored. It is effectively invisible. And, no, you don't want many tedious examples, one will be enough. Earthbound boulders with simple conventional Rock Art but including an ancient bead, or beads, of fused copper. (Try getting a rock art expert to look at that!)

My suggested experiment? Whenever the conversation turns in that direction replace the words 'rock art' with 'Henry Moore sculpture'. That's the best way to understand it, perhaps ...
