Not so far-fetched that whatever's in that basement doesn't serve to justify the nearly 100 dead soldiers of the Survey Corps who got massacred between Bert and Zeke. But there's definitely something there, the question is whether it's great enough to give their sacrifices any meaning. And that is what has been dominating the war up until Eren's awoken Titan powers and Historia's ascension; meaningless sacrifices, all of them in droves.
