Strangeness distillation alternative
The argument
If strangeness distillation from a baryon-rich quark-gluon plasma dominates strangelet production, as proposed by Greiner, Koch and Stöcker and developed in later hadronization models, then coalescence of baryons is not the main production pathway and the claim fails.

The inference is valid: dominance by distillation and dominance by coalescence directly exclude one another, so the argument stands or falls entirely with the premise that strangeness distillation dominates strangelet production. That premise is not yet assessed, but the evidence weighing on the parent claim runs against it at collider energies, where the crossover transition and the short-lived, nearly baryon-free fireball remove the conditions distillation requires; its remaining foothold is the baryon-rich regime at lower collision energies, where a first-order transition is not excluded.
