Well, ideas from outside the lab, much less academia, are unlikely to be well suited to that lab’s specific research agenda. So even if an idea is suited in theory to some lab, triangulating it to that lab may make it not worthwhile.
There are a lot of cranks and they generate a lot of bad ideas. So a < 5% probability seems not unreasonable.
