It was more than an assumption. The database had just been rebooted and no one was working at that time, and the statement was not run that would have been generated by someone else. However, just in case I got the SQL_id and then flush the shared pool and checked to see if the statement was in the library cache via v$sql. It was not so I tried the experiment again
Again the query plans differ. I know they should not but they do.
