A brief continuance on the derailment of the thread:
•The explosives theory involves a conspiracy—penalty.
The 9/11 attack undisputedly did involve a conspiracy.The question here is, by whom? (a. just by foreign terrorists, b. an “inside job”).
•The explosives theory can be and is used to score political points—penalty.
What does that have to do with anything? A reduction in unemployment can be used to score political points...that certainly doesn’t make is unlikely
•The explosives theory doesn’t make any goddamn sense—huge penalty.
This is subjective—penalty?
The biggest point is: the orthodox explanation of the collapse seems robust to me on its own merits. There are other questions.
I think your points are all valid but they were downvoted because they are against the group belief.
