Does it matter? It's only relevant because some poets and authors feel the need to be allusive, like it makes their work more literary or something.

i know this is an ironic post but im going to use it to make a broader point

simply by engaging with morons over questions like these gives them unwarranted legitimacy and has fostered this godforsaken culture of chronic skepticism.

nobody cares that you watched the matrix once. you're just wasting everyones time.

e.g. economics

nobody knows what the hell is going on with the economy at a macro or micro level. we take simple models and basic assumptions to make predictions, and correct for error after the fact as need be. Nobody is going to get anything done if we need to rigorously prove some literal theory of everything before deciding that one action or idea is likely preferable to another.

Easy. Proove to me that your Argumeme isn't REALLY that absolutely NO BOOK is more than 100 years old. Pro-tip, you can't, else I'll cite references in myriad texts over 100 years old to the poem in question, as well as translations, thereby refuting your initial argument..
