Pretty sure thats the point tho, there are often multiple different explanations for each mystery. So having a diverse group of archeologists is beneficial to get as many theories as possible.

So the 'gotcha' by the professor probs isnt a 'this is definitely the only explanation', it's just to have the students question their biases and seek diverse opinions.
