Quote from futurecurrents:
And what part of the generally accepted theory do you contest? That planes flew into buildings? That fire weakens steel? That a bunch of Saudis who hated us for having troops on their "holy soil", among other things, piloted these planes?
1.) I don't dispute that planes flew into the buildings. I would dispute that they were from any commercial airline.
2.) I don't dispute that fire weakens steel. I dispute that there was enough sustained heat to compromise the structural integrity of the columns and/or beams in these three structures enough to bring them all down in such a short period of time, and in the case of towers one and two, for compression to utterly destroy the core columns the way they were destroyed.
3.) I don't dispute that the USA may be hated by Arabs. I dispute that any of them were capable of piloting these planes, and that any of them even boarded these planes.

You know, sometimes the most obvious thing is the truth. It may not be as fun to consider as coming up with more exotic reasons though.
Please give an example of what your first sentence is talking about.
Meanwhile, can you even tell the difference between a man and a woman? Lot's of people on
Maury Povitch thought so. But it was not so obvious.

Add to those propensities the confirmation bias (which seeks and finds confirmatory evidence for what we already believe) and the hindsight bias (which tailors after-the-fact explanations to what we already know happened), and we have the foundation for conspiratorial cognition."[/url]
Note that those who believe in the official story are as susceptible to the quoted tendencies mentioned above as anyone else. Conspiracies are not surprising. After all, what is a war, if not a concerted conspiracy to deceive and destroy an enemy?
What you are doing is classifying between what you consider a probable versus an improbable conspiracy. You think it is improbable that our war machine could be hijacked by insiders high in the chain of command...and used in this way...on this scale. However, there IS precedent, however improbable. But however improbable it may be that disaster strikes...when it strikes...all that is left is to understand the cause. There is precedent for the motives as well, as well as exposure of some of the motives in this case:
CIA Whistleblower EXPOSES Everything!
You are classifying deception as something unlikely or improbable. However, it is common to the human experience, along with conspiracy+secrecy. That, or you are thinking that deception+betrayal+destruction on a grand scale is improbable, and therefore has not been perpetrated.
Bottom line, you don't think you can be deceived whenever you think the truth is obvious.
Is it obvious that the planes that hit the towers were commercial airliners? No, it's not. There is more evidence they weren't than that they were.
