The one bit of reasoning I especially liked was connecting the fact that it is harder for plants to adapt to different latitudes than to move east-west to the difference between empires in South America versus in Eurasia.

It is a very reasonable idea, armies travel on their stomachs and good crop plants are essential. Yeah it’s full of holes in reality, but it represents a way of thinking that can be the beginning of wisdom if pursued in a disciplined way.
