Is it really?
borne [bɔːn]
vb
1. (Linguistics / Phonetics & Phonology) the past participle of bear1 (for all active uses of the verb; also for all passive uses except sense 4 unless followed by by)
be borne in on or upon (of a fact) to be realized by (someone) it was borne in on us how close we had been to disaster
Borne out means proven. Both words are past participles of bear but born is only used when the meaning is give birth.
Consider yourself bitten!
