Lets try a different shorting theory:

When done in mass, in a pile on environment, at ever increasing record levels, the "real" investors or owners of the stock don't have a chance in hell of exiting at a fair value price. The supply and demand for shares is so skewed by the sheer volume of non-existent shares being created by short selling.

Thus, when done in extremes, the "value" of a company is often determined more by the short sellers of fictitional shares than by the real owners of an economic interest in the company. And that isn't right.
