Hi, you're probably right it isn't possible to know 100% the origin at this point.
All we can do is make probabilistic arguments. Inferences. Inductive reasoning.
And that sort of analysis, occam's razor based on the least new assumptions necessary to conclude the mechanism, I think the zoonotic theory is more likely.
The lab theory isn't impossible, it just requires a lot more untested and unknown assumptions.
