say WHAT? (none / 0)
You wrote that "BYU began to distance themselves from his work noting that they questioned his interpretation of evidence and expressed doubts over whether or not the work had been submitted to relevant scientific venues to ensure rigorous technical peer review."

THIS PAPER WAS SUBMITTED AND ACCEPTED BY A RELEVANT SCIENTIFIC VENUE (The Open Chemical Physics Journal) TO ENSURE RIGOROUS TECHNICAL PEER REVIEW! That's what we're talking about here, friend!

A quick point (none / 0)
You are confusing the way events occurred in time. Jones started doing this stuff a few years back. His methods were questionable then. The university then started to back away from him and even put him on paid leave at a point. He acknowledge the suspension as valid and made a claim that he would restructure his methods. Since then he has at least tried to go in a more scientific direction.

That's. The. Point. (none / 0)
He has not only "tried to go in a more scientific direction." He has *succeeded* in going in a more scientific direction. The scientific integrity of his peer-reviewed paper finding thermitic material in dust samples taken near the World Trade Center remains unchallenged. That is. The. Point. Of. What. I've. Been Saying. All. Along.

hardly any science (none / 0)

Chips were examined, found to be energetic, that's it. Where they were found is hearsay. How they were used is hearsay. Crunching numbers as to how much of this stuff is needed to get the job done, quickly dumps it into crazy bin.

But I have a question for you. Lets assume this was staged and it happened as you think it did. What was the overall goal? Crimes always have some kind of motive. I am interested in what you think.
