I did a sixty-second search and didn't find anything. Link me up if you can. "Common Sense" is the weakest of arguments.

Explosives explode. Incendiaries burn. Evidence is usually kept and inspected during the course of an investigation, which wasn't conducted in this case, for whatever reason you care to theorize.

NIST didn't find that. And fire investigation protocols demand that once any unusual events are detected in a building fire, specific accelerants and incendiaries must be looked for. NIST looked for nothing, because there was nothing to look for.

No chemical analysis. They conjectured.

No I'm saying they should have done an investigation, period.

"Somewhere" and "must have" again. There's no evidence of this.
An investigation would have answered many of these questions.

You should also look up the NFPA fire and explosives investigation manual to understand that even normal house fires are investigated using process of elimination, even when it's not obvious arson, incendiary, accelerant or explosive evidence is present.
