I thought we were discussing probabilities. When discussing probabilities you have to throw the good in with the bad.
Try context, you don't throw into an experiment what doesn't apply or water down odds artificially. Successful CDs work 100% of the time and prove they can take down buildings globally in seconds every single time. Unsuccessful CDs work 0% of the time, apples and oranges. We know that fire burns a piece of dry ordinary paper 100% of the time but if you fail to light the fire because the lighter doesn't work, it will burn the paper 0% of the time. This is silly logic on your part.
Because you said:
But a person who does building demo for a living would know, so it seemed like you were excluding them.
Well I wasn't.
Column buckling wouldn't cause collapse Column buckling pretty much guarantee's collapse.
That's not true at all. A steel frame building will stand even if one column buckles and sometimes more (see Windsor Tower and Usci Tower). They don't destroy just one column in a CD. Your first sentence is accurate, the second is false unless you mean a bunch of key columns reaching a critical point (as in a CD). And in this case, we're talking about a global collapse in a matter of seconds.
Including things that actually happened is not setting up artificial barriers.
Your claim is more about denial than including things that actually happened. Then again, what isn't unless it supports the OCT.
In order for any CD hypothesis to stand it would have to explain all observed behavior. The observed behavior on 9/11 includes many things totally inconsistent with CD and few that are.
It's irrelevant to the point. If a computer model can be constructed to mimic the destruction of the 3 towers using data applicable to the 3 towers, they will be destroyed similarly to the actual destruction on 9/11, with or without fires, planes, column buckling or whatever kitchen sink you want to throw in.
I wasn't referring to building a computer model but rather to creating a plausible, testable hypothesis for CD (no computer model required). The only individual I know of to take a genuine crack at it utterly failed. Pardon me if that was not clear.
That's irrelevant to the point then since it was only a hypothesis. And that the alleged hypothesis from an alleged "truther" "utterly failed" is of course a story coming from you.
