Think about that possiblilty; what if the Dwemer came back, and they had no idea what had happened to themselves. What if they somehow had their memories erased, and had to rebuild EVERYTHING from scratch, no longer being able to operate their own equipment? What if upon returning, instead of wanting to take over what they lost, they felt remorse or guilt over their actions? What if only some returned? I think it is unwise to limit the possibilities, let alone dismiss others due to "proven theories" (Especially in a game that makes it a point of breaking time on a regular basis).

FYI: In science, there is no such thing as a "Proven" theory; that's essentially an oxymoron. A theory is speculation that is supported by exsisting facts, but has not yet been confirmed. Even facts can be change if new evidence arises.
