I just think it is really odd that we'd rule out the major symptom of chiari as being related but then use it as an explanation for what would be a less common set of symptoms.

And, really it is impossible to say that anyone ruled out "all other possible causes" for hypotonia because it is a very vague symptom that could be causes by hundreds of different possible conditions.
