The 9/11 Commission was structurally prevented from being a truth-seeking enquiry
Griffin/Toronto process proposition: Zelikow's role, White House access limits, budget, and omissions (WTC 7, Mineta/Cheney, NORAD first story) mean the Report cannot be treated as a complete truth-seeking product. Distinct from H009 (withholding of Saudi-facilitation material). A process defect is not a finding about explosives or remote guidance.
Likelihood — more or less than 50%
89%
More than 50% — well supported by the sources
Start at 50%. Move by half of the net source score after uncertainty. Net source score is 1.00 (from −1 contradict to +1 support). Uncertainty is 23%. So 50% + 50% × 1.00 × 77% remaining certainty = 89%.
0.5 + 0.5 × 1.00 × (1 − 0.23) = 0.885
