    I have a theory about this. Riker’s transporter clone was discovered 3 years before Voyager disembarked. Thomas Riker was posted on a ship, so he wasn’t exactly kept a secret. Janeway was an ex science officer, she would TOTALLY have known about Riker’s clone.

    She 100% could have suggested attempting to replicate the accident that created Riker but didn’t, why?

    Theory:

    1. Thomas Riker wasn’t a clone, he was ripped out of the mirror universe by the transporter accident. Star fleet figured this out after he was arrested as a member of the Maqui, then fixed the transporters to prevent that from happening ever again, telling everyone they fixed the “dual confinement beam bug”.

    2. Tuvix really skeezed her out.
