We reanalyse the LSND neutrino oscillation results in the framework of the Projected Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (PQRPA), which is the only RPA model that treats the Pauli Principle correctly, and accounts satisfactorily for great majority of the weak decay observables around 12C. We have found that the employment of the PQRPA inclusive DIF 12C(nu_e,e-)12N cross-section, instead of the CRPA used by the LSND collaboration in the (nu_mu ->nu_e) oscillations study of the 1993-1995 data sample, leads to the following: 1) the oscillation probability is increased from (0.26 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.05) percents to (0.33 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.13) percents, and 2) the previously found consistence between the (sin^2 2theta, Delta m^2) confidence level regions for the (nu_mu -> nu_e) and the (bar{nu}_mu -> bar{nu}_e) oscillations is significantly diminished. These effects are not due to the difference in the uncertainty ranges for the neutrino-nucleus cross-section, but to the difference in the cross-sections themselves.
