It does, but I feel then I should clarify something I was trying to hint at in other IC posts: even the pieces will try to infect other digimon. The cables dealt with were already fragments of a larger source. It's kind of like a parasite situation, I suppose - you can cut out a lot of the parasite but, if you fail to destroy it all, it'll just grow back. The idea is mostly to justify what would create the need to cut off the digital world entirely, and, well, connects to a potential different plot point with the digimon eggs. Granted, that one's a lot easier to cut than the other one I mentioned, but yeah. That's why I'm arguing over the piece in her side.

If you're not hardset on the piece, I still would suggest a shell fragment, with the justification that the cable's corruption and data composition results in blocking the healing. If you are, however, I can cut the egg plot point without any harm right now.
[hider=The egg plot point if you want to spoil it]
The main host ends up shedding apparently dead fragments into a nearby river, which settle into the ground and are then absorbed by the eggs. The eggs that don't break undergo severe data corruption and hatch into, well, monsters.[/hider]
