What a great way to put it. I couldn't have said it better myself.
An update on the site: As of now, I tried to re-register so that I can be a confirmed member. Will update all when I hear back from them.

Snoopy,
Either you're reading me wrong or I am not being clear. I will concede that it could be me.
I'm getting at that Dr. Greening made calculations of the caps energy and all debunkers run with that calculation. What he didn't include in that energy calculation was the resistance of the buckled columns.
As far as the slump. I'm probably not using the correct wording because I definately didn't mean slump over. I just mean a collapse that would be slower (however slightly it might be) than a freefall collapse which would in turn make the amount of energy crashing into the remaining building less than what Greening calculated and the debunkers use.
Is this any more clear?

So the initial calculations don't factor in the resistance.
