CDI also does forensic investigations of accidental explosions. The 
chances that anyone could fool them while destroying the Twin Towers 
are probably zero to five significant places.

Note that CDI experts were on site within hours, and they were a "key 
player in the expedient removal and recycling of the steel." They 
submitted a 25-page preliminary plan to the city on September 22, 2001.

The notion that you could simply pull the wool over these people's 
eyes is part and parcel of Steve Jones' crazy ideas about cold 
fusion. He thinks that although the CDI people are world's top 
experts and they have collectively hundreds of years of experience 
destroying buildings, they magically failed to notice the cut beams, 
wires, and other obvious evidence of a controlled demolition. (As I 
said, you have to cut the beams ahead of time; it would take gigantic 
explosions to do it alone.) Along exactly the same lines, Jones 
thinks that even though Fleischmann, Bockris, Pons and the 200+ 
others world class experts have hundreds of years of collective 
experience, they somehow did not notice recombination or they cannot 
do calorimetry. That's like suggesting that a world class classical 
pianist cannot read music or does not know what "middle-C" refers to.

Jones, Park and the conspiracy theory nut cases not only have no 
respect for authority -- they have no earthly clue what "authority" 
or "expertise" means.
