That an investigation should move in different directions with evolving hypothesis based first upon on observed events, and altered according to evidence as it becomes available (such as the Harrit paper) is standard procedure.
There was no evidence from the onset for a controlled demolition. By definition the truther movement violated the very procedure you're insisting the investigations skipped over. You saw a building collapse, and you guys assumed it had to be a controlled demolition based on spurious similarity.
You guys
assume that buildings are absolutely invincible creations of man, while glossing over the details which set every building apart.
You guys haven't the slightest clue about materials, failures mechanisms, or construction for that matter.
Your own architects and engineers don't even know what column failure is to begin with.
You have bat **** crazy minorities who think magical lasers from the International Space station death star vaporized the buildings
You have bat **** crazy minorities who think the planes were faked.
You guys are incapable of quoting witness statements full context
You guys are incapable of quoting the very reports you criticize in full context.
You're critiquing us about following the scientific method? I've spent a year and a half on this forum, and it always fascinates me how conspiracy theorists of virtually any breed have the audacity to tell people what the scientific method entails when they themselves fail spectacularly to do so before even sitting through their theories. You're asking people to consider a position which vaporized (pun intended) before it even hit the atmosphere.
but its all just nonsense, according to you, in people's wacky minds - no one in power would ever abuse their position and people never lie or conspire against one another.
Yes it's all nonsense to begin with because the contentions of the truth movement from day one have been based on an illiteracy in multiple academic and professional fields. I for one find some of this illiteracy coming from
professionals no less deplorable.
