Seriously though, I am having a dilemma about WTC7. I've tried to learn some of the basic engineering principles needed to understand the collapse recently thanks to some peoples help here. Pretty much given up now, was taking far too long and I don't have the time. If I do get the time I would love to try and learn some of it though. Although I know the basics I can only go down to simple physics type mechanics and ideal situations that lack an in depth engineering perspective.
So all I can really do for now is agree with which ever side of the argument the science published by engineers agrees with. Not so much on technical points but more on the way science works.
From scanning google scholar, omitting all non peer reviewed journals, considering citation numbers, comparing the quality and quantity of papers for and against; I have come to the conclusion that basically no respectable engineer that is doing science the way it should be done really thinks that WTC7 was a controlled demolition. If they do, I have yet to see such compelling evidence published in a reputable journal so it can receive valid criticism.
Nearly every point about WTC7 that I've seen brought up here supporting CD recently has had a counterpoint made. Although a lot of these points may be contentious, and lacking the direct evidence you usually get from science past theory, I don't think that parsimony puts much burden of proof on the official side when compared to the implications of what you would have to entertain if the opposing side was true.
Saying that, I'm still probably going to keep asking annoying questions out of curiosity for a bit here when i have the time
