They theory to us is "blown" but only because as far as we know, she hasn't told anyone. If it happened to her, there is the possibility that it happened to someone else. Perhaps the researchers haven't thought of that or haven't had someone tell them that that specific incident happened. Or that paticular group is researching that and another is tackling the other. One thing about this show is that everyone is trying to do anything/ something to find a resolution to what happened. Can't wait until we find out what's popping in those Australian caves and whatnot.
