The group that I helped form was put together to research the structural drawings of the building. We studied the drawings and published what we found. We approached NIST initially with regard to some serious errors that we found, also, AE911 and others showed an interest and appear to be driving the issue forward. That would have been far outwith the means and scope of the research group that I was in.
That would be anyone. The NIST likely didn't get it perfect. I can't see why it maters that much.
Unless you are arguing that fire did not cause it their recommendations are still sound. Bottom line. To make a building safer, protect it from fires by protecting it systems and make it faster and easier for everyone to get out.
Understand?
