Well, seeing as you put it that way, I'm saying that Xal holds with "a group of power-maniacal anti-elven extremists" and, whatever he might say about the Dwemer, for Xal to continue to hold with "a group of power-maniacal anti-elven extremists" he must be known for saying things which "a group of power-maniacal anti-elven extremists" can accept or he won't hold with them much longer, will he?

The rest is speculative. How do we know, for example, that this "group of power-maniacal anti-elven extremists" actually experimented with anything? Do we have to take their word for it? What on Nirn is "a group of power-maniacal anti-elven extremists" doing with a Deep Elf (Xal) in their midst? And why would we believe that these Marukhati Selectives, "a group of power-maniacal anti-elven extremists", would know anything about the universe much less believe that they could know more than the Dwemer who, incidently, proved their knowledge with the technology they produced? Where is the technology of the Marukhati Selectives and how does it exceed that of the Dwemer? Where are the ruins of the Marukhati Selectives? Based on this wiki's entry for the Marukhati Selectives, it would seem that they left neither artefact nor ruin of their own making.
