I solved Kahneman's Bat and Ball Problem in a few seconds, and I'm quite certain that 9/11 was a conspiracy. He's a fraud. One of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories about 9/11 is the one that is laid out in the Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, otherwise known as the 9/11 Commission Report.

How 'bout I whack yez with that #%*& bat and take the ball? -- Joe Pesci William, you may have seen this in your field. Researching a 9/11 novel, I came across a journal article in Psychology saying that belief in conspiracy theories correlates with belief in ghosts among personality test subjects. Sure enough, a couple months later I read the personality test created for their subjects by the authors of an unrelated paper, and a found a question asking if the government covers up conspiracies and UFOs (on a scale of strongly agree to strongly disagree), followed by another on whether ghosts and supernatural events are possible. So this trope is being passed into culture through science, and recirculates in Kahneman. I grew up on John Wayne's cameo in the Greatest Story Ever Told. I think the Duke would bridle against atheism as the anodyne to falling for malcontent conspiracy theories.
