> But won't you be breadthening the argument by saying the steel was weakened and not melted and then they will ask about how beads of steel were reportedly seen or recorded?

But I didn't say that "The steel didn't melt". All that I said was "Jet Fuel probably can't melt steel beams".

This has two effects:

1. It makes the Conspiracy Theorist more willing to listen to you because you agree to their premise. You have to learn to "pick your battles" so to speak, and "giving your opponent a bone" so that they continue the discussion is rather important.

2. If higher temperatures WERE documented, that doesn't disprove the premise: that the Towers _could_ have collapsed under lower temperatures.
