I disagree. One piece found you don't know whether it's coincidence, statistical edge case, or average. Two pieces found can yield a significant increase in confidence of an answer, based on times and locations found combined with knowledge of prevailing currents. I agree though that it's not the smoking gun as far as precisely locating where the main wreckage lies, if there is such a thing.
Let's wait and see if they can confirm if it is from 370.
