53. An open mind

Indeed. Reviewing these posts makes me see I did draw conclusions. Even with the questioning nature of my posts, certain conclusions had to be fore-drawn in order to pose the questions. Backing up as far as I've had to has created much re examination. The evidence at this point, is for me, enlightening. This post started as an inquiry, it remains that for me. I appreciate your responses.

*start*

None of the conspiracy "scholars" have passed a peer reviewed paper in a respected scientific journal saying the collapse of the towers was impossible.
Many peer reviewed papers have been passed in respected scientific journals saying the towers collapsed from impact and fire alone.
The few scholars who say they are structural engineers and are conspiracy theorists are not working in the field.
Dr. Fetzer wrote books on JFK and moon landing conspiracies.
Prof. Jones was a physicist who worked on cold fusion and not structural or civil engineering.
Prof. Judy Woods was a dental engineer and did not have a job in structural engineering.
Gordon Ross is not a structural engineer. None of his so called "papers" have passed peer review by a respected scientific journal. He hasn't made a single attempt in a respected journal.
The scholars for 9/11 truth created their own journal which has no impact to the scientific community and is created by and for the conspiracy theorist community.
Conspiracy theorists haven't tried to pass a peer reviewed paper in a respected scientific journal. This proves they have little faith in their own work.

*stop*

How's that for honest?
Structural engineers in Jones own university call his hypothesis "very unreliable".
