Directed energy, not impact/fire/conventional explosives, destroyed the twin towers
Judy Wood thesis. Kept on the board and currently unsupported by the quality bar. Ruling it out a priori would violate the lab's instruction; scoring it honestly does not.
Likelihood — more or less than 50%
10%
Less than 50% — strongly contradicted by the sources
Start at 50%. Move by half of the net source score after uncertainty. Net source score is -0.97 (from −1 contradict to +1 support). Uncertainty is 17%. So 50% + 50% × -0.97 × 83% remaining certainty = 10%.
0.5 + 0.5 × -0.97 × (1 − 0.17) = 0.097
