No, but I am ready for either you or Neutron to prove any element of the story, but I've known for a number of years now that NIST can't prove, and nobody else can either, for the simple reason NIST is a political document full of fantasy. So is the Commission Report a political document.
That you guys actually believe those political documents, and in so doing completely avoid the many facts that contradict it is consistent with men taught to believe at an early age in Santa and the Easter Bunny.

You really don't understand how steel that was tested to burn for many hour before weakening at temperatures of 2500 degrees, weakened in just one hour due to office fires?
The lowest temperature at which a plain carbon steel can begin to melt, its solidus, is 1,130 °C (2,070 °F). Steel never turns into a liquid below this temperature. Pure Iron ('Steel' with 0% Carbon) starts to melt at 1,492 °C (2,718 °F), and is completely liquid upon reaching 1,539 °C (2,802 °F).
Fire resistance - Steel is inherently a noncombustible material. However,when heated to temperatures seen in a fire scenario, the strength and stiffness of the material is significantly reduced.

Numerous facts, perhaps all the facts, contradict the official story.
No airliner at Shanksville, no airliner at the pentagon are 2 big ones, probably the biggest.
Controlled demolition instead of the official "natural collapse" at WTC is another. Testimony of Rodriguez that was not included in Final Report, behavior of FBI agents, and other critical details.

SO WERE ARE THE TESTS YOU WERE BOASTING ABOUT ON THE OTHER THREAD.
Informer made made a claim that the steel from the towers had been tested to 2500 degrees for MANY hours without failing yet when challenged he CAN'T seem to prove that.
So informer when can I expect to see a link to this or was it all BS like you KNOW it was when I posted the melting point temperatures for steel.
So just to remind you here is your quote

From my reply

So what load would it have taken in your claimed test when it was almost LIQUID
So people can't really trust ANYTHING you claim can they.

Very tall buildings fall over, not down into their own footprint.
But that could have caused massive destruction in New York as buildings would go down like dominoes.
I think Building 7 was holding a union card and went down in sympathy with 1 and 2.
That is a better story than the official version.

Informer won't accept anything that does not fit his/her fantasy, not the MP's of various steel alloys, the plastic nature of steel under load, or the loss of strength with temperature. Informer wants a demolition and will not accept any technical arguments against it.
Also other claims using failed assumptions of how a building like that would collapse, it seems to me any judgment of what happened is hampered by preconceived notions of how you think it should when you have NO EXPERIENCE or technical KNOWLEDGE your claim re fire test being a prime example.
Please no ranting.
Please tell us what caused the inward bowing and almost instantaneous following collapse of WTC 2.

Please provide answers to my above questions.
It is apparent that you are unable to respond until you get your talking points from A&E memorized.
Salander is also avoiding any definitive statements because A&E has fallen on hard times.
