It is not clear in their minds exactly what happened. Despite all the people who had "seen" Bob (ie the gifted and the damned) Cooper still wonders "If Bob really exists." Albert thinks Leland was just a Ted Bundy type. Truman is still confused from the rock throwing type investigation. So I don't think Lynch and Frost completely ignored the possible ambiguity.
