85. Why should anyone waste time reading that?
The sim pilot hit the building in all three attempts. Balsamo laughably finds significance in the fact that only on the third try did he hit near the same spot that Hanjour hit. That's exactly like saying that if I fire a shot into a barn wall and it takes you three shots to hit near the same hole, then that proves the spot is difficult to hit, which proves I'm a much better shot than you. But you still don't understand the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy, do you?

And I see you didn't respond to my post above about why nobody really knows what the "maximum" speed of a 757 or 767 is. Balsamo should solicit money to buy one so he can do the necessary experiment himself.
