About 1/100 of one percent but then in those lost volumes there may not have been anything about Atlantis or evidence of an earlier story that he copied you can use the possibility of evidence to promote an idea.

There have been no world-wide destroying cataclysms within the time frame we are speaking of - obviously.

There are lots of tsunamis, fires, wars, plagues, earthquakes and what have you. Again you cannot use the possibility of something happening to make believe it conventionally destroyed the evidence that would support your contention. You can certain believe that but it is not evidence of something existence.

And this has what to do with Atlantis?

You are talking about the possibility I am talking about actual evidence.

There is a possibility Don that you are a large intelligent pink five legged creatures from a distant star. Is that possibility true?

So in the end we end up in the same place we started. There is a possibility that Atlantis existed but we have no evidence that it did and circumstantial evidence points to it being a story made up by Plato.
