I think this is just fine so far. Just because Saoirse thinks there's an obvious connection between her family's magical tradition and handwavium doesn't make it so -- we have plenty of people in Fenspace who are working with their own personal interpretations of what the wave is and why, and conflicts and contradictions between those interpretations doesn't make their stuff stop working. We also have Wiccans in space -- the Jason, some of the Corners' crew -- who seem to have applied their rituals to handwavium with success. But nothing about that says anything definitive about the nature of handwavium.
It's a bad habit to get into, to assume every narrator definitively knows what they're talking about when they express a confident opinion or belief.
