There is a huge difference though between “lab leak” meaning “a wild virus collected and stored at the Wuhan lab escaped”, vs. “biomedical engineers manufactured a super weapon which escaped.” I think the evidence, or at least the plausibility, of the former is excellent. For the latter, it’s poor.

That's not correct. There's evidence of genetic engineering in the genome of the virus. There's a 2018 DARPA DEFUSE proposal from scientists at WIV/UNC/EcoHealth Alliance which essentially predicts what SARS-COV-2 would look like.

The article in question states explicitly that the lab was doing military research on viruses.
