Not as such, as far as I can see. It's just that there are other theories that assume the same love triangle and work more smoothly for narrative or characterisation reasons by bringing more sacrifices to Knox to support them.

Knox 8th may not really be strong enough to deny a theory completely, because in such a large text, as of yet undiscovered clues may still be found, but a theory that satisfies the 8th as it is normally trumps the one that doesn't.
