Is this possible, or is someone reaching?

I've heard the bit about the apostles hands possibly substituting for notes of a Gregorian chant, and the harmonic spacing of the painting is an interesting observation. But, yeah, this guys interpretations seem arbitrary to me. What dictated where and how he placed his staff and what objective criteria did he use to assign tempo instructions to various elements of the painting?

 

Pretty neat that people are still pouring over a 500-year old painting and finding new things though.
