    Also, I'm aware I think Hibernian rebels should be the Tuatha Da Danaan, and I know the Gaels saw them as the Cruithe race, but they called them the Tuatha Da Danaan. It's like...rebels in Athens would be like Athenian rebels, not Greek rebels.

    Further, I'm aware using Dark Ages sources is working backwards, but we'd have to work backwards, cause no one actually knows what was present in the far north during 270 BC, but the general concensus by Dark Ages researchers, who were a lot closer to that point than we are, is that the Picts were there, and were not the same people. To further hammer that point, Kenneth Mac Alpin, called the Picts 'The wretched race of cruithe'. He didn't call the Irish or Welsh 'a wretched race', he called them 'wretched lands' (Kenneth wasn't a very nice guy, he didn't like many people).
