... provided that you only hear his side of the story and you take it at face value without giving it any real thought. I spent a fair amount of time giving you just some of the many reasons why that's a very gullible thing to do, and you just blow it off without even attempting to refute it? Instead, you threw up yet another fallacious argument that amounts to saying that if 1643 gullible people signed his petition, that means we should just ignore the bullshit in Gage's propaganda and accept his conclusions. In the first place, 1643 is an insignificant fraction of the number of "architects and engineers" in the world (even if we don't use Gage's deliberately deceptive definition), and in the second place, a quick check of credentials shows that the vast majority of Gage's "architects and engineers" are manifestly unqualified to claim any expertise in structural mechanics, physics, or controlled demolitions -- most especially including Gage himself. You reject out-of-hand the opinions of people who actually are experts, e.g. all the private-sector scientists and engineers who signed the NIST reports, apparently not because you can actually find any real faults in their credible evidence and sound reasoning but because they don't tell you what you want to hear. Instead, you prefer Gage's "REAL experts" even though they have failed miserably to produce any VALID technical arguments whatsoever.
Well, yeah, you can believe whatever you want to believe, for whatever reason you find convenient. But if your beliefs are not based on credible facts and valid reasoning, and in fact are impervious to sound reasoning, then you really shouldn't expect your opinions to be taken seriously. And that's exactly why the "truth movement" has been stuck in the mud since about 2006.
