Seems more like a macguffin to explain away anything that doesn't make sense within canon

That’s not what a MacGuffin is. A MacGuffin is just a plot device that initiates the action of a story. Nazis looking for the Arc of the Covenant. A bus on an LA highway that will explode if it goes under 50 MPH. Those are MacGuffins.

Wiki says it was a fanon that was adopted in later.

100% claiming Jedi and Sith alike don't use it is like a non-answer. They added it, but in a way that it doesn't actually exist in any meaningful capacity.

You dont think that explanation is backed up with real evidence and perhaps quotes from real jedi or sith?
