I didn't form an opinion at the time, I was not awake enough until the 1995 Murrah bombing. In retrospect without considering it much, it appeared these were both dry runs where the purpose was both practice and, if possible, to destroy evidence and frame terrorism narratives. KSM was demonized long before UBL.
I don't see it as written that the bombers' plan "could have worked" but only failed due to such an important detail as parking location. Even when I set off a bug bomb for pest control I know better than to leave its location suboptimal in my haste.
I'll grant I haven't spent enough time reviewing 1993 and am open to more detail. Maybe ping me from the other thread if there's something I need to see. Lord willing declassification will reveal all.
