I think he's talking about it being a part of the vanilla game. Since console commands or mods wouldn't make the Tunneler's destruction canon. Though then again: it doesn't necessarily strike the possibility from canon. We just need another Fallout game in the area - or close enough - to confirm it. Engine capabilities could just as well choke the choices that one can make.

Like how there's no real significant weather in the base game. Either because they couldn't fit it in the engine without severe knock-backs against the consoles, or they didn't have time. You got to mod weather in.
