It\'s a nice WMG, but absence of evidence \'\'against\'\' is not, in and of itself, evidence \'\'for\'\' any fanon theory. Under the same logic, I could present that the goddess Hylia is actually Raiden from Mortal Kombat. The game contains no evidence that contradicts this, but that doesn\'t mean it\'s true. In the end, millions of fan-theories can be devised to explain any number of things, but if your theory contradicts what we\'ve been told onscreen, absence of evidence isn\'t enough. If you can\'t find evidence within the work to \'\'support\'\' your explanation of the events in question, it just doesn\'t hold water.

The Burden of Proof will always lay with the dissenting opinion, not the accepted explanation.
