I soaked some beans overnight on the counter, but didn't use enough water,
I guess, and I forgot about them till just now when I came home from work.
they split open and smell "sprouty", but not spoiled they will still be
safe to eat, right?

Yes. If you lived in a very warm climate, and you were serving them raw,
like in a 3-bean salad, you might want to start over. But, if you're cooking
them, you'll be fine.

is another theory which states that this has already happened."

If you are going to cook them, they should be fine. You might boil them for
a few minutes just before continuing your recipe. The only issue I can see
is perhaps some of the shell may peel off during cooking but it should not
pose a problem.
