Leading proponents of the SBS hypothesis now acknowledge that the triad is a “myth,” that SBS diagnoses consist of “informed speculation,” and that the hypothesis is supported solely by confessions. Some courts are following suit, with one US federal judge describing the types of confessions obtained as “worthless as evidence,” and another noting that, given recent developments, claims of SBS may be “more an article of faith than a proposition of science.”
SBS假说的主要支持者现在也承认，三重症候是一个“传说”，SBS确认是“有根据的猜测”，SBS假说的支持证据完全来自坦白。一些法庭已有所跟进，一位美国联邦法官宣布以此获得的坦白“作为证据毫无价值”，另一位美国联邦法官指出，根据最新发展，SBS或许“更多地是一种信念，而不是一项科学”。
