Unlike you i've seen the points that have demolished every single conspiracy claim I've seen with relevance to 9/11. But the theorists ignore each point, so expertly, and just like a blind man I might add. They cherry pick everything and then claim that the official story is cherry picking but that's not the case at all. The official story is actually based on evidence, not on WHAT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE BUT IS NOT KNOWN FOR SURE. You see, conspiracies are based on thigns hat can never be proven. Just like religion. Official story might not always have enoguh points to convince you, but the pints themselves can be confirmed and this is what makes them trustworthy.
Hypothesis
A hypothesis is an educated guess, based on observation. Usually, a hypothesis can be supported or refuted through experimentation or more observation. A hypothesis can be disproven, but not proven to be true.
Theory
A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. A theory is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it. Therefore, theories can be disproven. Basically, if evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, then the hypothesis can become accepted as a good explanation of a phenomenon. One definition of a theory is to say it's an accepted hypothesis.
Not in the least, actually. How is this even remotely relevent to anything?
the structure of the WTC is the key to really know the truth
is it possible that 2 planes hitting 2 similar building at 2 different places ...that resulted in 2 similar vertical falling

Because you cherry pick information consistently. Your feigned ignorance of relevance is a nice touch.

Now Dave I need to chastise you for confusing them with the facts. You know all too well that the 911 bru ha is a religion.
Pointing out that the initial point of collapse was exactly at the point of impact was an insensitive use of the facts.

Thank you. I should star you for furthering my case.
how did he know when the plane struck? he was in the building i think he can differentiate between an explosion below him and one way way above him

Tell us, Kaya82, when he was in the sub basement, how did Rodriguez know when the airplane struck? Is there any other evidence besides earwitness testimony that such an explosion took place? Surely an explosion in the subbasement that destroyed significant structure would have been felt by others in the levels above, correct?

And not pointing out that below the point of impact was also the path of least resistance is cherry picking facts. While I cant account for the sensitivity of it, the fallacy of it is obvious.

You might as well be arguing over how many toilet seats were left up when it collapsed.

I think credibility is thrown out the window when someone "claims" that a plane started a fire that burnt 40 stories up in a building and that fire brought the building into a freefall straight down!! There is no credibility in that statement to me....Say what you will, this makes NO sense at all....
Things wouldn't make sense to me either if I didn't listen to other people and was convinced that my own feelings were superior to everyone elses. Good luck with your superior thinking.
Wish I was superior. I hate being reliant on others. Being reliant is soooo yesterday.
Being so reliant, a slave to everyone else, just like this:

That is an uncorroborated assumption you're making up off the top of your head. There's no way anyone can know where the path of least resistance was as noone knows precisely how much physical damage the impact inflicted on the structure, and noone knows precisely how much damage the fires caused. That is why the myriad studies and reports are contradicting each other. The only detail irrefutably known is that the wreckage from the plane impacts reached the inner core of both structures as they each severed the emergency stairwells and trapped the occupants in the upper levels, so there was certainly greater critical damage to the interior of the building than what you're taking into account, regardless of whether you want to acknowledge the fact or not.
In case it hasn't dawned on you, if you have to resort to bickering over such esoteric details at such a absurd microscopic level of detail like where the precise path of least resistance was, this isn't research- it's grasping at straws in desperation from not having even a microbe of proof to back your claims up.

I must tell you that I am immune to bait and switch. You accused me of cherrypicking, so now the onus is now on you to provide an example of my cherrypicking. To be precise, I posted that both towers collapsed at the precise area where the planes impacted the structures and you came along and said I was cherry picking, so what was I cherry picking?

It could be considered by some rather fishy that the only three steel framed buildings in the history of construction to collapse due to fire are WTC 1, WTC2 and WTC7. The Windsor hotel in Madrid burned intensely for 48 hours and it did'nt fall.
The Windsor hotel was a concrete core with a steel frame exterior. The core did not collapse. The exterior did.
This information should trigger a rational thought process in a normal human. What does it trigger in your brain Truter.
The Windsor apart then, explain how steel treated to withstand a temprature in excess of 2000 degrees for hours before damage suddenly gives after less than an hour in fires that were practically extinguished.

Nobody noticed anything unusual?
Highly unlikely.
