RE: "Is Dr. Thomas Eagar, professor of Materials Engineering and Engineering Systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a "government disinformation agent"?"
Either that or a half wit, perhaps both.
Why it is that academics tend to believe a small amount of knowledge, in a narrow field, qualifies them to speak authoritatively on subjects, far outside their fields of study, has always been a mystery to me, but they all seem to do it. Consider the statement:
"Well, I once asked demolition experts, "How do you get it to
implode and not fall outward?" They said, "Oh, it's really how you time and place the explosives." I always accepted that answer, until the World Trade Center, when I thought about it myself. And that's not the correct answer."
He first admits he doesn't know diddly squat about controlled demolitions, then proceeds to claim he knows more it about than the experts.
If you want an opinion from someone who doesn't know diddly squat about controlled demolitions, why not ask a fry cook at McDonald's. The results will be the same as asking Eagar. If you want an opinion from an expert, you will have to find someone with expertise in demolitions. |
