And yet you are unable to demonstrate that these assumptions invalidates his conclusions.

Premises:
Truthers are always correct.
Truthers claim 911 is an inside job.
Conculsion:
911 was an inside job.
See, perfectly sound logic based on false premises.

You really do not understand logic do you? If a building would collapse making assumptions in favor of collapse, it would also collapse making more realistic assumptions (as they would automatically be less in favor of collapse).

You are just upset because you keep failing in your argument. For some reason this is like a competition to you, I don't think you really care about the subject you just want to argue with people and win.

Oh dear, now you are just confusing opinion with facts again. You know very well the argument we put forward, so why do you make such blatant lies?

For some reason this is like a competition to you, I don't think you really care about the subject you just want to argue with people and win. A lot of uneducated people try to take on the 911 discussion because they believe the MSM when they say 'truthers' are stupid, and they think they will have an easy time winning a debate with them without putting in too much effort with things like research and really understanding what is involved. This is all over your head PLB, and you know it, it shows in your frustration and the constant stuff you make up.

This statement alone is case closed that you have no clue what authentic logical reasoning really is, and it just goes to show how deep your denial has to run to keep having faith in all the garbage that you do.
Originally posted by -PLB-Bazant never showed his conclusions to be valid in the first place. He was so wrong, that he didn't even show his work, that there would even be anything to falsify. It's clear that trying to make you realize this is exactly like arguing with a religious zealot though. You are trapped in your own little world where logical conclusions can apparently be based on incorrect facts, as you claimed above.

And you just "know" he was wrong, how very scientific of you. Demonstrate it, or it is a baseless assertion.

Bazant didn't show the details of his work, therefor it is wrong.

Gut feelings (intuition) is right more so than wrong in most cases, on the night (my time) of the twins collapse my gut told me instantly, its the muslims! How wrong was my gut?

In general, I believe the best explanation available. I am never 100% sure about any explanation, and when a better one comes around it will replace the current one. But it is the best we have and believing anything else is not rational, it is motivated by other factors.

I'm not a structural engineer, but I am friends with many of them. When I got lost reading some sections of the NIST reports, I reached out to them and asked them for guidance.

I rely on those that rely on real science and mathematics. Those that believe in the proper peer review process. It should speak volumes the massive failures of the truth movement that not only have they not have one paper properly reviewed, as far as I know, they have never even made an attempt.

When your "gut" tells you something, generally speaking, the "gut" is right. When she talks about what you see when the towers fall, is like what I felt in my "gut" that morning. It seemed a controlled demolition.

Finally! After submitting a half-dozen papers to established peer-reviewed technical journals over a period of nearly a year, we have two papers which have passed peer-review and have been accepted for publication. One of these was published TODAY! In science, we say that we have “published in the literature,” a major step in a nascent line of scientific inquiry.
Is it really the fault of the 'truth movement'?

There are even some characters on this site who supposedly belong to these Truth Movement organizations and appear to be quite suspicious in their beliefs. Obviously, these patsies are only allowed to go so far with their nonsense and even attempt to impede and deflect those who are legitimately calling for a real investigation with distractions.
This is why the Truth Movement, which was started shortly after the attacks, has done absolutely nothing in 9 years, except pick their rear ends. In the eyes of an extremely ignorant dumbed down and mentally challenged public, this lack of productivity by the TM alone is enough to marginalize and discredit those who genuinely seek to investigate the events.
