Declan's point wasn't that he knew the firecracker picture to be the cause of the visit, but only that there was at least one narrative more plausible than the blog post's original narrative of "they're dragnetting Google for pressure cooker searches". That's all.
The thing is, the fireworks theory was absolutely not more plausible. It didn't even make a little bit of sense. It was clear that someone had acted on the Google searches, not facebook pictures of fireworks on July 4th. Unsurprisingly, this was confirmed to be the case.

Pretty sure I was the opposite of wrong.
