Reply #272: How about an argument with evidence?

You Would Be The First To Suggest Hard Aggregate Floors. Maybe you don't know the difference between hard rock aggregates and lightweight. Pumice, vermiculite, fly ash are the aggregates used and they may not be small, but are softer and lighter than feldspar for instance. It is not easy to tell but weight rules the design parameters. Read the WTC report and it will identify lightweight concrete as the floor material.

No, I'm not going to find it for you.

This is basically common knowledge...

Is this part of the WTC report to which you are referring?

You have previously stated that I need help with my reading - perhaps you could tell me if I am misinterpreting what is specified for the concrete, I think it says there is "stone concrete" specified for some of the floors and "lightweight concrete" for others. Is that correct?

I also believe you have said that only lightweight concrete was specified. (here) And that there was no rock aggregate. (here) Perhaps I didn't read what you have written correctly either.

Personally, my evidence is better than what is factual in the WTC report. Besides, it's a PDF and can't be searched properly. PDF's suck.

Personally, I'd like to see this report that you have cited as evidence to verify that you are not just making up facts.

So the reason you are not going to share the WTC report is because you don't like the file format?

I search PDF's all the time - in fact, there are two ways to do it: the SEARCH function (Shift+Ctrl+F) and the FIND function (Ctrl+F). Of course that only works on the parts of the document that are in text format, if some (or all) of the text is composed of scans of documents that are actually pictures then it doesn't work.

Nevertheless, PDF's are great. You can zoom them, and rotate them. You can copy text from them, or take a snapshot of part of the document - all right from within Acrobat Reader. Plus, they look the same across many platforms, and they print out exactly how they look on the screen. What's not to like?

You can't mean that - then we wouldn't be able to see this posted yet again:
