No, it is that you don't understand how an impulse would have been observed, if it had occurred. It would have been through the velocity loss and the recovery time.
The impulse itself happens too fast, but it isn't necessary to see it as a significant velocity loss would be required and would be the telltale sign.
No velocity loss was observed and the recovery time was more than long enough to have a significant number of measurements which would have shown it if an impulse of the magnitude required to buckle the columns had in fact occurred.
Don't forget I did actual experiments on this that helped, Benson and Greening and actually observed what occurs with objects of similar energy values in Collisions, experiments with tons of materials not pounds, or ounces.
I can also point to flaws in Jones's work, Cole's work, and much more of the pesudo science you subscribe too. If your wanting to simply raise Gage's income this might not be the best place, for that.
