You debunkers never fail to make me laugh. You state ‘The closest direct comparison to NIST is the work at Purdue’….. That wouldn’t be the very ‘simulation’ that’s been shown to be utter claptrap…. Ironic that to show NIST isn’t a fraud, you mention the very thing that proves it is a fraud. (and you can find plenty of references to it on the internet which I’m pretty sure you’ve read). If you think the work done by Prude has got merit… then good for you.
No, it wouldn't be that "very simulation." The work at Purdue does
not show NIST to be "utter claptrap," or vice versa. The two confirm each other, within reason, though there is a critical difference between Purdue's and NIST's results that is worth study. I discuss this in my whitepaper, in the section
Updates from the Scientific Community.
Re. ‘Again, I spend a lot of time describing, referencing, contrasting, and synthesizing these results in my whitepaper. I did so because there are many like you who are unaware of these other, independent, multi-national efforts, and who would possibly enjoy learning about them.’
Thanks for your condescending comments.
There is no condescension here -- which is ironic, since in your opening paragraph, you disparage NIST, Purdue, and my own work, without providing even the barest summary of justification.
In any case your beloved ‘whitepaper’ has been mocked plenty on the internet. Jim Hoffman has done a fantastic job which few could match.
Yes, I'm aware my whitepaper has been mocked, but not competently. I expose the glaring, comprehensive mistakes of the three highest-profile responses in the v.2.1 update, including Mr. Hoffman.
Either way, you are deluding yourself. NIST has never made the claim that they looked for explosives……….. maybe you should read the NIST report.
Read more carefully. I stated that NIST looked for unusual failure modes, and that includes those that would have been caused by explosives. This is fact. See NCSTAR1-3.
Regarding reading it, I am apparently one of the few who has actually read the Report, unlike Dr. Griffin and Mr. Hoffman. The latter's critique, for instance, makes the following astonishing claim:
Jim Hoffman said:
The NIST Report has only one snapshot of fires in the South Tower, compared to two of those in the North Tower, apparently to conceal the fact that fires in the South Tower were subsiding over time.

This is off by about a factor of 40... this mistake is really quite startling, given that one needs no actual comprehension of the Report in order to look at the pictures. A child could verify that the claim above is wildly incorrect. I have no idea what Mr. Hoffman hopes to gain through such a clumsy lie, unless he actually believes this to be true, which would require him to have barely cracked the cover on NIST.
In any event, your baseless accusations are off-topic, and further departures will be reported. I once again invite you to describe
what questions you have, which if answered, would cause you to accept the "official theory." You have asked no questions at all. If you cannot, then I don't see how anyone can help you.
