135. "You have someone positing a conspiracy based on..."
You're mischaracterizing spooked's esperiment completely.

He doesn't claim it proves anything except that a rabbit cage is a lot stronger
than you might expect. His conclusion is not, as you claim "that NIST, the
military, the President and everyone else are engaged in some sort of bizarre
conspiracy."

His conclusion is "it is not clear why the much stronger steel columns in the WTC
towers weakened so much from fires that the towers underwent global collapse."

That was not clear before the experiment, and it's still not clear after the
experiment.

Spooked is to be praised for actually challenging his assumptions through test.
Imagine how embarassed he would be if the rabbit cage collapsed.

It was a physical test of a physical question. Your apparent belief that the
answers to physical questions are dictated by political considerations of
conspiring government agencies is irrational, and your outrage that somebody
went to the trouble to do the experiment and share the results is unjustified.
Of course the experiment is flawed. Don't you have any constructive suggestions?
