UC Davis Guest Speaker Challenges Students, Questions Official Explanation for 9/11 Towers’ Destruct
http://ae911truth.org/en/news-section/41-articles/497-uc-davis.html

From the article: "I asked Andrea what she thought of the evidence Graham had presented and whether she thought it was credible."

“It makes me think twice about the whole thing, and in the back of my mind I feel like I have been lied to this entire time. Finding out about 9/11 in 4th grade didn’t mean much to me, but now all this evidence is falling into place,” Sanchez said. “I think the evidence is compelling. I took physics last year and all this evidence goes with what I learned in physics and does make sense. I can’t help but feel that I’ve been lied to.”

1. ' I can’t help but feel that I've been lied to.'
Well Mr Sanchez not withstanding your course in physics, you have been lied too. Just not by the people you think.

2. Give her time
Once she grows up and stops believing in fairy tales, she will look back and realize Gage is a moron.

4. Richard Gage is a con artist
... and Sanchez is just another victim.

Why do you think anyone should care what Sanchez believes? Anyone of normal intelligence who takes the time to look past the garbage Gage spoon-feeds them should be able to understand why the towers collapsed, and the "truth movement's" claim that it violates any laws of physics is a baldfaced lie. Simple question: Why do you think anyone who does understand it should be impressed with Sanchez's ignorance? Why do you expect anyone who does understand it to suddenly decide that Gage's magical silent explosives placed in active office buildings, for no rational reason, is a better explanation?

Richard Gage starts every lecture and interview by pointing out that he is a member of AIA, and then lies about how many "architects and engineers" have signed his position. So, before he even begins to explain his ridiculously implausible theories, he invites his audience to fall for two logical fallacies and believe what he's about to tell them. He then proceeds to demonstrate that he knows virtually nothing about structural mechanics, fire science, or controlled demolition, yet nonetheless has managed to convince himself and some other people that something ridiculously implausible has happened, based on a large pile of bullshit that he tries to pass off as scientific evidence.

Your inability to understand why most people aren't buying Gage's bullshit is likely to cause you a lot of frustration for the rest of your life, Stanchetalarooni. That's very sad.

5. Woof!
From the link: "People may refuse to look at the evidence if they are psychologically unable to accept it, but eventually the truth or falsity of such claims will emerge."

6. As I said, you'll likely never get it, and that makes me sad
Exactly like all pseudo-scientists, Gage's problem is not people who "refuse to look at the evidence" even though such people certainly exist. Gage refuses to confront the evidence that his real adversaries are people who have looked at what he presents and found it ridiculously short of what would be required to sell such a ridiculously implausible theory. If Gage and his "over 1400 architects and engineers" can come up with actual scientific evidence and valid technical arguments, there are fairly well established forums where such stuff is properly presented and discussed by people who actually know what they're talking about. Why does Gage prefer making money by "converting" people like Sanchez?

There appear too many unexplained events and unverified circumstances to be satisfied with the official version of the New York building collapses. As unthinkable as it is to suspect the United States government or military of willful complicity in these horrendous acts, it is even more heinous to allow such complicity--if indeed it exists--to remain undiscovered and unpunished. Therefore, a thorough and impartial investigation by an independent, well-funded commission is fully merited.

The collapse was too symmetrical to have been eccentrically generated. The destruction was symmetrically initiated to cause the buildings to implode as they did.

9. Yes, instead of actual scientific evidence and sound technical arguments from real experts...
... AE911truth gives us illogical, naked assertions based on faulty observations and imaginary physics, from people who appear to be ordinary crackpots who can neither substantiate their own claims nor offer any serious challenge to the generally accepted probable causes of the collapses.

You seem to be determined to have no idea what I'm trying to tell you.
