The problem is theres too much the average person doesn't know so they can't accurately assess if the events added up or not.

I guess technically if no one used your fiction to disprove the hypothesis it's slightly more likely to be true, but not by a meaningful amount. The question is basically asking, if you talk to a bunch of people about your hypothesis and none of them come up with reasons it can't work, is it more likely to be true than if you didn't do that. More likely, yes, but not necessarily likely in general.
