What's your favourite one that you almost believe? And why? We're popping on our tinfoil hats and very much looking forward to your answers. (Thanks to Shezam for this suggestion.)

ARF!!
So some random person can do research on "thermonuclear explosions" and randomly force the "facts" to fit.
And yet they ignore the fires that burnt for DAYS in that pile of rubbish that was left after the towers fell. Fires that had plenty of fuel not just from the jets, but also from all the combustibles in the main building.
Also plenty of cutting tools on site during the clear up.
And no - I did not bother to read the linked articles. Seen some like that before, so this time I just laughed at the titles.
Real Science helps answer questions. Real Science learns to question facts. Not, like these idiots, try and find theories to "fit" their mad theories. (I also assume that these scribd.com articles are also available as a Book and Lecture tour for cash?)

Not an expert...
but didn't science also go to show that the drug was dangerous and it was stopped? And all in a far shorter time frame that the conspiracy nuts who have been going on for a decade?
At least science knows when it makes mistakes and owns up.

it took more than a decade to stop putting lead in petrol.
and to stop using DDT. and to stop using CFCs in aerosols.

Big Companies slow down sceince
Lead, DDT, CFC are companies slowing down the science facts. (Again I am no expert and can't be arsed to look up the facts so working on memory here). Once science spotted the mistakes, the companies dragged their feet. but eventually they found solutions - again with science.
The example from the OP is very different as he is using totally unrelated "facts" and forcing them to "fit" a "theory" while ignoring all the other information that shows the "theory" is bullsh*t. That ain't science, that is selling books to weak minded people.

CFCs were ultimately replaced by propane and butane.
The trade-off being that while propane and butane are natural gases and don't have such a harmful effect on the upper atmosphere, they're much more flammable and explosive. To satisfy safety regulations, most aerosol-filling factories needed to have the cans sealed in a separate annexe - and it had to be designed to fall away from the main building in the event of a structurally compromising explosion.

Post-normal science doesn't, though.
According to a post-normal scientist, 2 plus 2 equals 5 AND IF YOU DON'T AGREE I'LL HAVE YOU DISCREDITED TO HELL AND BACK.
