No, it's not a tautology. A tautology is a statement in a form that must always be true, regardless of its constituent parts. "Well, <blank> could be true, or it could be false" is an example of such a statement in natural language. My statement was an example of believing a simple/common explanation over the rarely seen and complex one.
