Spoiler!

Well, they are a bit limited in what they can do. Obviously Shaw can never make it back to earth and report her findings in a way that becomes common knowledge, although it's likely that she could make it back only to be silenced/discredited in some way by the company (perhaps Yutani will be the next corporate snake she has to deal with). I certainly hope we learn more about the engineers - hopefully in the next movie she'll run into one who's a bit more talkative.
