"...Seriously, another issue: for all we know blues music started at all in Alabama but only first became popular in Louisiana. Or, for instance, vice-versa. And they're taking evidence of early significant popularity and then talking about where it _started_."

Where boogie-woogie started, that is; our similar lack of knowledge about the earliest blues music was meant as an analogy. Boogie-woogie-style playing and 12-bar blues form are two different things, and some would have us believe (on shaky evidence) that that style of playing is older than the rise of popularity of 12-bar* in folk music during the 1890s.Joseph Scott*Lyrics about having the "blues" only became somewhat popular about 1905, about a decade after 12-bar became quite popular, and a lot of blues wasn't 12-bar.
