"The number of signatures Gage has on his 2000 List is irrelevant because
(1) Gage's petition with the 2000 signatures makes no mention of controlled demolition or US government involvement, the two central Truther claims. So those signing his petition are not agreeing with the keystone argument: that the buildings fell from Controlled Demolition. The petition calls for a 911 investigation without being specific as to what about 911 should be investigated.
(2) The petition does not state an opinion as to what brought the WTC buildings down. A signer is offering no opinion, certainly not agreeing with Gage. An engineer could sign Gage's petition because he thought al Qaeda rented offices in the buildings and planted explosives. While that is a crazy idea, it nowhere near is as crazy as the claim that the US government wired three massive buildings for a controlled demolition while occupied by some 25,000 tenants and security. (How would you even obtain entrance to the majority of the offices with private locks and security systems?)
(3) About 40% (my count) of the signers are neither architects or engineers. Many of the signers do not have a professional degree. Only a few of the signers have civil engineering degrees and, with two exceptions, those engineers are unreachable. (The two I reached with civil engineering degrees had conducted no analysis or research, which means they were not speaking as engineers).
(4) The "2000 list" has not been audited. How many of those names are legitimate? Many of the names are of people who are unreachable. People who did sign may no longer support a 911 investigation. "
