47. The failure to understand why a model might not converge is your fault.

Nothing I can do about your lack of knowledge. That's all your responsibility.

If the failure to converge is a "meaningful fact" then what does it mean? You're welcome to keep trying to answer correctly, since your first answer (once I managed to drag it out of you) was so blindingly wrong that it is obvious you don't know much about the subject matter.

Chandler does not need to explain them. He's just engaging in observation, Ace Acme Dec 2013 #8

Your explanation of the squibs is contrary to the gas laws. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #10

What was the pressure rating of the ductwork in the towers? AZCat Dec 2013 #11

I don't know and you don't know. Maybe we should ask NIST for an investigation that tells us. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #13

Oh, I don't? AZCat Dec 2013 #15

No, you don't. AZCat Dec 2013 #17

Your inability to digest the information in the NIST report dictates your irrelevancy. AZCat Dec 2013 #19

Digesting the information in the report is not the problem. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #20

The NIST reports also didn't include an explanation of basic math. AZCat Dec 2013 #24

The NIST reports also didn't include a lot of things. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #25

I think you're confusing the behavior... AZCat Dec 2013 #26

Why would any model not converge? AZCat Dec 2013 #30

"Models", Mr. McGoo, not "model". Ace Acme Dec 2013 #31

So that'd be a "I don't know what it means" answer... AZCat Dec 2013 #34

The models did not converge on a single solution. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #38

What does THAT mean? AZCat Dec 2013 #39

As I said, it implies that the actual collapse was too orderly for the models to recreate. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #40

Aaaaand... AZCat Dec 2013 #41

Same thing as with WTC7. The collapse was more orderly than the models. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #43

Whatever. AZCat Dec 2013 #44

Oh I see. The failure of the models to converge is my fault Ace Acme Dec 2013 #45

The failure to understand why a model might not converge is your fault. AZCat Dec 2013 #47

I already told you the meaning of the failure to converge. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #49

Yeah, and it was wrong. AZCat Dec 2013 #50

Some people wave Big Fat Books to give the illusion of support for their empty claims. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #59

I don't need to wave a "Big Fat Book". AZCat Dec 2013 #60

Right, you don't need no stinking badges. Empty claims is all you need. nt Ace Acme Dec 2013 #63

Empty? Says who? AZCat Dec 2013 #64

By the way - you seem to have a bad habit of editing your posts (usually multiple times). AZCat Dec 2013 #53

Writing is rewriting. Only bots with libraries of canned responses get it right the 1st time nt Ace Acme Dec 2013 #56

Really? Most of the rest of us don't seem to have that problem. AZCat Dec 2013 #57

Ah, so you judge reaoning by who presents it rather than validity? William Seger Dec 2013 #21

You're forgetting that NIST doesn't give me any arguments to ignore. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #22

If you can say, "NIST doesn't give me any arguments to ignore," you've ignored a lot William Seger Dec 2013 #32
