A Fierce Pancake #2

James H. Fetzer, philosopher and founder of "Scholars for 9-11 Truth", responds to a critic:

Are you trying to tell us that the material of the building wasn’t there? If so, that makes no sense at all, but then you rarely do make sense.

YES, I AM TELLING YOU THAT A COMPARABLE STACK OF PANCAKES WAS NOT THERE.

Dan Lacey's "The Collapse of the WTC as a Stack of Pancakes" is perhaps his most controversial work.

----------------------------------

Professor Fetzer is not sure what did happen to those missing parts of the Twin Towers which (he argues) should have remained after the collapse as a 15-storey-high stack of pancakes. His erstwhile colleague Steven Jones espoused the "massive quantities of thermite" account, but this led to an acrimonious parting of the ways with Fetzer inclining instead towards Judy Woods' "Directed Energy Weapon from space" theory. I myself rate for Alexei Sayle's "Elephant positioned in the Loft by Incompetent Architect" explanation.

Fetzer has now come to believe that the location chosen to construct the World Trade Centre proves that it was intended for ultimate demolition even at the planning stage. However, he is not a complete conspiracy theorist; on the balance of the evidence and taking into account the epistemic issues he has concluded that the Apollo missions were probably faked, but he accepts the possibility that they were in fact genuine.

We mention Professor Fetzer not out of desperation and bloggers'-block, but because he has been popping up at websites lately at the drop of a tin-foil hat to explain his evidence & reasoning. One hopes that in the philosophy of science he is not completely hatstand fritillary calenture.
