True, however the gate that Hiroe opened was similar in description to the gate that Doug opened. So it may stand to reason that the gates they're opening
represent the "easiest, natural" gate of that type to open. Basically, playing with universal forces to create a stable gateway between realities
tends to manifest in a specific way. This is what Nature comes up with. If you want something fancier, you have to do it yourself.
As for Makoto's arrival, Queen Usagi knows that Hiroe's device was built to be one-shot, so it's not possible to return through that point. Given
that it was built in secret in a GENOM research lab, it's really not desirable to do so even if it were possible. So the other weak-spot phenomenon in the
Megatokyo area would be a lot more attractive, especially since Hiroe wasn't sure where it was, and thus it could reasonably be assumed IDEC and GENOM
didn't either. Odds are Makoto has already been training in everything Hiroe did, and can make an exit door anywhere on Earth, if she needs to.
But the potential for future complications for that Earth go way up once IDEC builds a lab near a phenomenon they can actually study full-time. Suddenly they
can run *tests*, and that's when it gets scary...
