Why do you persist in creating ridiculous straw-men to demolish? That is so juvenile. Is winning an argument more important to you than finding the truth in these allegations? No one has suggested "arson" per se in this discussion. We should all agree that the fire in WTC7 was started by the debris from the impact of hijacked airplanes, and that Al Qa-ida is the prime culprit for that. That is really not the present issue. We have specifically tried to limit the overriding question to whether or not there was themite/themate -- and if that chemical was responsible for the molten metal. Aviation fuel is not capable of melting steel in normal combustion. Like it or not, Steve Jones is far better educated on this subject, and probably on almost every detail of LENR and almost every detail of physics than you are; and your hatred for him is kind of silly, if you want to know the truth. He did make a wrong call on that subject (cold fusion) IMHO, but in that regard so have 90% of all trained PhDs in nuclear physics. Get used to it. It does not mean in any remote way that he is wrong on this. He does have access to a top lab, a great mind, at least 500 top engineers, architects AND demolition experts from all over the world, all of whom who agree with and support his work; and at least he used lab extensively, unlike NIST. ... the stacks of photos ARE there, even NIST does not question that - but they only show one thing: that there was molten metal. NIST chose to ignore that and chose to ignore the themite as a possibly reason for it. Molten metal does not necesarrily point to even "accessory" criminality either before or after the fact, but it should be explained -- and not swept under the table with a silly computer simulation. Had the geniuses at NIST addressed these issues from the start, no one would be suggesting now that they did the horrendous and unforgiveably wasteful job that only a fool could see as a complete accounting of the situation.
