Should we include eruptions which are debated to have been explosive?

The enormous Parana and Etendeka eruptions such as the Guarapuava-Tamarana Sarusas eruption have been removed on the account that they were not explosive. However, there is still considerable debate about the manner of their eruption. Although yes, there are sources that support the interpretation as nonexplosive, there is a key characteristic that muddies this description: rheomorphism. I read that if explosive, the ignimbrites ejected by the eruptions were so hot that they would flow like lava. Here is a source that supports the interpretation that these eruptions were explosive.
