Since most Stands appear to be recognized by the rest of the world as ESP, the Internet would actually be quite reliable in this case. The Internet would be the only source of information, besides other Stand users and maybe the Speedwagon Foundation. That doesn't make it a reliable source. I mean, I know it predates the Internet, but Jotaro's conviction that he was possessed at the beginning of Part 3 is a pretty good example of how even Stand users can be very wrong about the nature of their powers. The nature of the Internet is probably only going to make that sort of confusion worse.

And yeah, I know that a Stand Arrows can kill...when they cut you. Pretty sure the meteorite killed from contact, and killed when it granted the guy superpowers/a Stand, to boot. Plus, they would need to get from Greenland to Egypt, when Greenland was pretty much unexplored until the Vikings got there. And then end up inside a tomb or other archeological dig-site. That's...pretty difficult to accept for me. Maybe the Arrows have some aspect to their making that restricts the virus and makes it easier to survive, and maybe they ended up in Egypt by some complex series of coincidences. But even Polnareff called it a "hypothesis", IIRC. Meaning even he's not sure it's accurate.
