My brain may not be working properly, but I’m straining to make sense of that last sentence. “Completely put paid to this notion” is not a phrase I’m familiar with. I don’t intend to sound critical; I’d just like to understand.

“Completely put paid to this notion” means “thoroughly and finally disproves this theory.” I don’t know where the idiom came from.
