I meant for each individual type. I don't know if there's any particular reason to believe all three kinds of fuels were from the same process.

I suppose the fact that they all have comparable amounts of fuel is some evidence, but it's not as strong, since I don't think we would particularly expect comparable amounts of fuel even if they did have the same source.

Then I agree, as I said,

Maybe even some types could be produced from both origins, although the prior is low and it's true in this case you would expect a majority to come from one process.
