Love your rant, wish I could upvote more than once.

I just had to think of a nice situation a couple of years ago. I was with some friends at a little garden party, two guys started a debate about how it was all fake and how the towers could never have collapsed the way they did. I fiercely stated my opinion and what I knew about steel beams and so on, when our host's husband, who had sat with us quietly listening, calmly agreed with me and provided some further details and numbers. Both guys tried to shut him up with the usual "you believe their lies" but he seemed very confident and relaxed so I asked him about his background. He: "I studied physics and work as a static analyst at the xy Airport. The calculation of such risks is part of my daily job." - That was such a glorious moment, lol!
