You cite the work of TFK in your own defence?
Where has your mind been for the last year? i am not interested in "convincing' you of anything. I post to the point that your hypocrisy is visible for any thinking person to see. We have passed that point a while ago. So TFK is your main dude? When you say "others", can you give a few names? Others have "explained" these phenomena. Or is TFK your go-to man here? |

I am not a poster on the911foruim at all. So I do not know where the lists came from. I am a poster at JREF. YOu are a poster at JREF. On May 19th, you opened a thread a JREF. I replied a few hours later a the JREF. I expect you to discuss the topic with which you opened a thread at the JREF at the JREF.
I am not interested in any menu titles at your website. I interested in how you arrived at the selection of features with which you opened your thread here at JREF in May 19th. I am not particularly interested in airplane impact information. I interested in the reasons why you left them out when you opened your thread here at JREF in May 19th. I am not interested in the peculiar sense of humour you believe is Achimspok's and femr's. I am only interested in the criteria that lead you to include a small number of particular visual features and leave out a great many other visual features, and all the non-visual features. I am not interested in whose features these are. I am only interested in why you posted those featutes on May 19thm, and not any others. I'll be happy to read about and discuss the features, but only after you have explained to me why I should read about and discuss particularly those specially selected visual features, and not any other visual or non-visual features. First things first. When did I say "cherry pick" with regard to your feature list? I don't think I did. I am also not defending anything at all. I just want to know whart criteria you used for the selction of features. You are not denying that you DID take your pick, right? The feature list IS a selection from a much larger pool of candidate features, isn't it? But it was you who opened the WTC2 feature list thread on May 19th by cramming a number of features into the OP of a single thread. Now please explain why you put those features in the thread, and not any others! Ah! This seems to be hinting at a criterion: You picked those features that support the already identified collapse mode! Does this already identified collapse mode include the reasons for initiation? Are there any besides foires and plane impacts? May I conclude from the fact that you left out both fires and plane impacts from the feature list that explains the collapse mode that you already concluded that neither fires nor plane impacts played a role in bringing about the collapse of WTC2? If so, it would be nice if you had the guts to clearly say so. If not, please explain why you left out so many very obvious visual features. You listed visual feature before, during and after collapse initiation. But you did not list ALL visual features before, during and after collapse initiation. For example, you left out the visual feature of planes slamming into the tower, of the visual feature of fires burning very near the collapse initiation zone. All I want is a an explanation for this.. Or did you believe on May 19th, when you opened a fresh thread at the JREF, that every reader would already have read and understood everythunbg you ever wrote at the JREF, at the911forum and on your website? What then was the poibt of your thread? be informed that you may get new readers when you open a new thread, and I expect that YOU can explain YOUR reasons, and I expect you to NOT expect that I already know your mind, or can read it. If you have reasons and criteria for your selection, you ought to be able to write them down. How much time and energy have we both wasted in this exchange, when you could have just written down your reasons nearly 3 months ago? I suspect you HAVE NO reasons and criteria, or are ashamed of them. Care to prove me wrong? |

If you really intended for your posts here to be unconvincing, then you have succeeded.

M_T seems to think that my often repeated question ("what criteria were employed when you selected visual features for your WTC2 feature thread?") is of that kind - that I already know the answer I want to hear.
It isn't so. I don't know the answer. I have a strong suspicion, but I an open for any surprises. |

The boast that he provides the most thorough analysis of "observables " and yet leaves out the overwhelming amount of "observable" evidence is insolubly contradictory and has no reversible explanation.
The only explanation of this error is that confirmation bias was the cause. He has avoided a reply hoping your opinion of him will remain in limbo instead of hell. The source of confirmation bias - What MT believes: Our societies are murdering people to steal their valuable resources. October 2010 - Feynman's paint story about "but I am open for any surprises" speaks about self-doubt. http://blog.everydayscientist.com/wp...nman-paint.pdf' The answer to your question "what criteria were employed when you selected visual features for your WTC2 feature thread?" you have already answered but self-doubt. "I've very often made mistakes in my physics by thinking the theory isn't as good as it really is, thinking that there are lots of complications that are going to spoil it--an attitude that anything can happen, in spite of what you're pretty sure should happen." - Feynman You can lead a MIHOPper to facts but you can't reason someone out of a thing they weren't reasoned into. |
