''Snopes'' tries to downplay this achievement and dispel this mystery, but its arguments are unpersuasive.  For example, ''Snopes'' implies that a side connector added later (and visible above), to stop the springiness of the stairs, is somehow a support.<ref>https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/stairway-from-heaven/</ref>  It plainly is not.  ''Snopes'' also tries to disparage the original staircase as possibly being unsafe because it lacked a hand-railing, but that obviously misses the point and the hand-railing was trivial to add when desired.  The ''Snopes'' analysis concludes with a slap at the private ownership of the chapel, by saying that they somehow have "a strong financial motive" to perpetuate a legend, as though anyone is getting rich off this.
