Like most 911 threads, this has descended into a state where all the evidence is on the table, yet the OP continues to deny that fact and instead clings to the delusional belief that he is correct. If anything can be ascertained from his previous attempt at convincing people he is correct, we will continue to see the same dodges, personal insults, and general inability to comprehend what evidence has been presented.
He has willfully denied or ignored any contravening evidence, launched massive personal attacks against people who are clearly qualified to discuss the matter, and conveniently sidestepped any issues which he cannot address.
Until the OP actually examines what has been presented to him, there is no discussion taking place here and continuing to post here does not constitute arguing or debating, but rather shouting into a room where nobody is listening.
I would be more than happy to see a discussion continue, but a discussion is a two-way exchange and we have not had a two-way exchange here for about 400 posts. This thread was basically hijacked from the beginning by an individual who had no interest in hearing what anybody had to say, but hoped that he could spread his ideas without any resistance. Once the OP steps down from the pulpit, drops his condescending attitude, gets rid of the personal insults, and actually decides to engage in a conversation, this thread should be locked.
I see your point and can't really defend continuation of the thread if it is to be nothing more than... My side is right cuz your side is wrong. IF there is some value to it it is in the advancement of the learning process. I've learned some stuff here (related to building and structures etc) I already know something about the tools used to take a formula and make sense of it. And explicit in your statement is the assertion that some do not. I suppose that stands unchallenged to this point. And, I understand that if a DrPizza, by virtue of using a formula or whatever he's expert in, can or ought to be able to convince that a belief is false, then that too is a bit more learned. I recall a fellow who said he was a Ph.D. in some related to the investigation field say he felt the NIST was all bunk... not sure what I learned there except he said what he said. I know if I said something was 'all bunk', and used my academic credentials to support that I'd also produce a tome of evidence to that as a form of backup. [I don't often post in the related threads for that reason... aside from some glib statement]
So the simple truth may be that this thread is not the venue to argue belief but it, belief, is the essence of every other thread in this forum with some exceptions. Many of the other forums and sub forums of AT debate from a technical as well as a belief perspective.
I believe WTC 7 to be an anomaly... the why I've stated and from what I've seen so far in the NIST, FEMA etc.. I still see it to be so... I think I'm reasonable, ergo, I Want folks to show me where I'm wrong so I can learn why. I think that is a good thing. The name calling and worse is frustration that neither side in that room you mentioned can hear anymore with the exception of some who try to help a listening person understand...
