Tony,
While answering not a one of the technical issues I posed to you, you produce this steaming pile...
Just who do you think you're kidding, Tony?
Tom,
In my opinion, much of what you post on this and other forum's is veiled nonsense and unworthy of a response.
In other words, you have no competent response, and this is the only way that you can weasel out of a discussion.
The only reason I did reply to your last post was that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to expose your hypocrisy concerning error analysis, as while you were castigating others for not doing it you did not point out that NIST did not do one for their velocity graph of WTC 7's fall.
Ahh, then you didn't understand my central point: that an error analysis was insignificant to NIST's conclusions, but absolutely crucial to Chandler's conclusions.
Too bad that was too technical for ya.
Even tho we know your name...
The potential error in the case of these measurements is +/- 1/2 pixel and it is obvious, so to anyone with a real technical background ...
To bad you are 100% wrong in this statement.
Even tho we know your name.
±0.5 pixels is a fair approximation to the error IN POSITION.
But the position errors are irrelevant to Chandler's conclusions.
Care to try to pull acceleration error bands out of your butt?
Why don't you try again with that error analysis that is "obvious to anyone with a real tech background"???
Perhaps you'll get the answer right next time.
Based on your track record, I wouldn't bet on it.
If the problem's too hard for you, I'll be glad to help.
Even tho you don't know my last name.
As I told you before, I will only debate you publicly, where we get to know who you are and your words have something to stick to reputation wise.
You won't reply to me because you're not convinced that I'm an engineer? Not technically competent?
In the last couple of days, you've replied to:
…
cooperman. Is he an engineer, in your estimation?
…
bill smith...!
… and
bill smith again…??!!!
Bill Smith, Tony. You'll debate … BILL … bloody ... SMITH, Tony.!!
Tell me again, Tony, how you won't reply to technically incompetent people? LMAO…
And let's not forget that you're getting your ass handed to you by femr2, who knows about as much engineering as my sister's chihuahua. That's GOTTA hurt, Tony...
Now let's look at the people who you absolutely won't debate, Tony.
You won't debate Mackey. You won't debate me. You won't debate anyone who knows mechanical engineering, and can point out the ludicrous flaws in your crappola.
You're a coward who runs from debate with other mechanical engineers.
Who do you think that you're fooling, Tony?

Hey, Tony, do you still believe that a object that has not moved a millimeter for 30 years has been accelerating at 32 ft/sec^2 for all that time.
I'm a musician*, and I know that's ludicrous.
Hey, Tony, do you still believe that all the stubs of the upper block core columns will pierce thru 3 stories of rubble & magically contact perfectly their mating stubs in the lower block?
I'm a cook*, and I know that's a joke.
Hey, Tony, do you still think that the upper stubs will hit the lower stubs after 1 & 2 stories of descent… even tho there are zero column surfaces for them to contact??
I'm a dishwasher*, and I know that's completely wrong.
Hey, Tony, do you still think that NIST believes the minimum force transmitted thru a buckled column is 25% of it's straight capacity?
I'm a chauffeur*, and I know that's totally hosed.
*Yeah, I'm all of these. At times. Like all of us are.
But mainly, I'm an ME, Tony.
And you KNOW it. And that is precisely why you won't debate me.
It was the same story with Hardfire.
It's the same story now.
You're a coward who runs from debate with other engineers.
Who do you think you're fooling?
Other than yourself, of course...
Tom
