Edit: I had no idea this thread was essentially dead.

I don't think threads in DIY are ever really dead, they just go into hibernation for a while. The forum has pretty small readership.

How did blacksmiths explain things like quenching and annealing and heat-treatment before the physics of it were understood? Did they try to come up with explanations that made sense with the science of the day? Did they ascribe it to gods and magic? Did they just say "gently caress it, that's just how it works, who cares why?"
