I mean, with that one I'd more caution an Occam's Razor situation than anything; it's not that it's impossible that the Unlost World is from the shard lost by the Second Calamity, it's that it's less likely than another possible option (that it's from some other shard that didn't get rejoined).

It's a 'why take a longer road to the same destination' kind of problem.
