It means that this person (she) must have drawn some conclusions from what she's already observed but they must not be completely right though. There seems to be some other aspect to what she considers to be the truth.

it means that her observation was not quite right but not completely wrong - just like if something was misplaced you would expect to find it later but if completely lost, you would never find it again.
