And there's a small chance two people could have exactly the same genotype, even if they weren't related. It's a matter of probability.

But I think you're assuming that we can't reason about something if we can't be certain about it. This is not the case.

What do you think the base was for in the first place? Do you think they just sent a bunch of soldiers out there to guard nothing?

If the text doesn't specify either way (and I'm not sure that it does), it makes much more sense to assume that the explosives were there all along.

Either way, you're using circumstantial evidence to fabricate a minor plot hole.

Worse, we can't be sure that these fictional events happened in their own fictions.

Episode 3's magic battle, for example
