Quote from man:
i think there should be an official debate. taking place
in april 2007 in a washington conference room with
TV stations broadcasting live. material to be presented
by each side, the offical and the conspiracy, must be
put on the table at least eight weeks in advance.
i think this could only make democracy stronger. and
if it turns out that official arguments are real convincing,
then many thanks to the conspiracy community which
enforced government to BE convincing.
while i see several weak spots in the conspiracy claims,
i would think that the official WTC7 case is difficult
either. it is really an unbelievable structural weakness
if three buildings fall apart the same unprecedented
way in two completely different ways. and while i see
the point that different circumstances can add up
together and have a certain unlikely effect i would like
to stick to occam's law: in doubt the simpler solution is
the more likely. so, when three buildings look like as
being demolished intentionally, then this option should
at least be investigated as heavily as the one with
various circumstances coming together.
but having said that, i still doubt the conspiracy claim,
since the initial rationale of the trade is too risky a
strategy for a government to be uncovered. if you
want to go to war you do that differently. not at home
with live cameras on all over the place.
i would see at least some of the conspiracy claims
analogeous to curve fitting: yes, if you add enough
unconnected dots, you might think you have something.
and to a newbie it might sound convincing ...
