Heiwa applies sweeping generalizations to all forms of construction. Anyone who has performed a case study should immediately know the implications of such an absurd set of statements. Buildings vary in construction and material and they each perform very differently based on the choices architects and engineers make in the design stages of construction.
In my educated opinion, trying to explain the concept to him when he himself doesn't understand it in the first place is wholly pointless. And on top of that he's one of the 29 individuals on the AE911 listing spoken about in the OP... it says volumes about the standards of the group
Yes I completely agree. And I just made a mistake by responding to him which was pointless. He clearly has nothing more to offer the debate. I was trying to find out how the ae911tm would respond to the Balzac-Vitry demolition where so much is what they would describe as "unexpected". From my perspective it is a very good example of how local damage can lead to global collapse.
Heiwa is a good reflection of the quality of the 29 "experts" that the ae911truth movement have. These expert include, by their own declaration, the following "expertise":
- a road engineer
- "I graduated in 2007"
- someone who "nearly" got a masters
- "none provided"
- "I am working as a junior engineer"
It is not really worth trying to engage in a discussion with them.
The ae911tm do not want to discuss how they falsely claim expertise that they do not have. They only want to discuss a few small isolated aspects of each collapse. And then they simply regurgitate the same old nonsense, like Heiwa's mantra. What they are saying makes no sense, but as a series of sound-bites they are bound to keep attracting a few zealots, a few people who can't be bothered to read the details, a few contrarians and a few anti government people.
But they will never attract any of the world's leading tall building engineers. None of the top 1,000, from any country in the world. And the most effective response from the world's leading engineers is to ignore them. The ae911tm seek controversy, seek attention and want money. They are not interested in truth. So any debate with them is only serving their purpose, and so its pointless, including this one.
