Yeah, it's possible to modify physical theory in a way that is compatible with our current bounded observations, that allows FTL with higher energies then ever controlled or perhaps ever practical to create.

One of SH's hobbyhorses is that the Universe has no obligation to conform to the most elegant symmetrical theory. (See C/P/T symmetries.)



She's not saying that it should be possible, only that we shouldn't automatically rule it out based on a theory that we already know to be incomplete


it is reasonable to "rule out" (read: effectively treat as not true, see Russel's Teapot) any theory which lacks sufficient evidence to treat it with any greater weight
