Reply #127: Jumping to the twin towers is a distraction from our conversation about WTC7

[Realityhack]

Once again I ask,
Have you even read the NIST report on WTC7?

You clearly do not appear to have read it. The reason I say that is that your differential criteria for determining that this was a CD rather than another type of collapse relies on things that the NIST models predicts better than a CD theory and therefore your evidence argues better against your position than for it.

Your ONLY argument is that NIST is a government agency and therefore MUST be not just lying. That is a clear and blatant logical fallacy that even you should be able to understand.

Is NIST beyond reproach? No.
Is everything NIST says definitely a lie? No.
Have you presented ANY evidence that contradicts their collapse model? No.

If you want to argue against a scientific theory or engineering model you are going to need more than your personal ignorance, logical fallacies, and shoddy theories to be taken seriously.
