Implication that impact was witnessed by Indigenous Australians

There is an implication in one paragraph that the impact was witnessed by Indigenous Australians. Whilst I don't doubt that their story might attribute it to an impact event, it is not a good idea to imply that they might have actually witnessed it. Doing so really just makes everyone look silly, since the impact was dated to the Jurassic, so either: Someone stuffed up monumentally in dating that thing; Or our entire knowledge of human history is wrong and humans coexisted with dinosaurs back in the Jurassic; Or somehow the paragraph needs to address the fact that Indigenous Australians couldn't have witnessed the formation of the crater. Rather, someone may have taken a good guess from another impact event that was witnessed to get an explanation of how this one formed. Basically, the paragraph needs to make the distinction between attributing a feature to an impact event and actually witnessing the impact event that created the feature. If it doesn't, it is rather misleading, especially since the sources are talking about impacts witnessed by Indigenous Australians. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 23:03, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

If you're referring to the paragraph headed Cultural significance, that's about a Dreamtime story. If you follow that link (it's also linked in the article), you will see that it's referring to a time before current people existed. It's a kind of mystical time.
