Didn't the band have a mobile studio on the road with them during the caravans? You dont think they werent writing at all during that time?

Fair point. As for the mobile studio, I don't think they used it to write, I think they used it for rehearsal. We don't know for sure how much writing has been going on. I think it's very little.
Regardless, there are reasons to believe both sides of the argument, new vs. old songs. In my opinion, the evidence points toward old/reworked songs. I wouldn't call anyone stupid for thinking otherwise though, because you can make a case for either side.
