#1 For me the interesting follow up question is whether the Iberian metal-workers could *reliably* product tempered steel.

I'm not suggesting this is what happened - I don't know enough - but I can imagine a metal working knowing that they can make a really really good metal tool some of the time and that metal tool being so useful because of the importance of the carving on the stellae that it was worth trying a dozen times until you got the really good tool but the metal workernot being able to reproduce the forge conditions that made the steel tool reliably.
