183. You have presented nothing of substance

... nor will you be able to, with AE911Truth as your resource: None of those "experts" has ever produced anything resembling a valid technical argument for believing the WTC towers were destroyed by controlled demolition. Read through the comments of the people who supposedly have some training in structural mechanics (which is an extremely small subset of Gage's petition signers, anyway), and they say things that amount to, "I don't understand how this could happen." Well, that's a shame, but it's not a technical argument, and it ignores the vast majority of the profession who seem to understand it pretty well. Perhaps the AE911Truth "experts" should ask their peers to explain it to them. Or maybe just do some reading.

This stuff is not a matter of subjective personal opinion. The reason your sources are ridiculed and ignored is that it is quite clear by now that they do not have anything of technical value to say. It's a shame that you don't understand that, but your lack of understanding is simply irrelevant to any actual issue. As is your whining about it.

You claimed you could produce a half-dozen people as qualified or more than Bazant who would say something different than Bazant. In the first place, AE911Truth does not have a single engineer who is anywhere near as qualified as Bazant -- not a one -- and in the second place, you will not find any of them publishing technical papers about WTC controlled demolition in peer-reviewed journals, because none of them have -- not a one. The best you will be able to do is find stuff they've published on the web, like Tony Szamboti's "missing jolt" theory or Gordon Ross' "momentum transfer" argument, and it won't take but a minute to point you to the technical refutations of those arguments by people who know what they are talking about. There is absolutely nothing like a serious technical debate about WTC going on within that technical community because nobody has raised any valid technical arguments that require such technical discussion. It simply doesn't matter that non-technical people like yourself are impressed by blog postings on a subject that you obviously do not understand. Sorry.
