I think what Dan means is that finding a tube-and-yoke corslet consisting of a leather backing with metal scale providing the actual protection doesn't really inform you about the likelihood of a tube-and-yoke without scale being made out of leather. The physical properties required of a backing for scale and of a standalone armor are different.

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
