[ExI] Doubts and gas chambers

To put it very simply: a reasonable doubt is sufficient to consider
that one did not make one's case. If the doubt is more than
reasonable, i.e., it is not only reasonable but plausible or even
compelling, this is of course also true.

If any possible doubt is less than reasonable, it does not count,
because the case has been proved beyond the threshold of "reasonable".

Accordingly, if the official version for 9/11 bears the burden of
proof, the existence of one or more reasonable doubts, even
inconsistent amongst them, makes it unproved.
