The correct point that the man in the video is an editor and has no expertise on the subject still stands.

You're right, I've contacted a lot more than 70 people who work in fields that are relevant to the discussion, but that means exactly nothing. "I've contacted 70 engineers" is not a fact and is not evidence. This is both your first and last warning. Facts and evidence only. Assertions and fallacies can go in Paranoia, but have no place in this thread.

He is also the DIRECTOR of Field Operations for Protec, who describe themselves as:
This doesn't disprove the fact that the wreckage was immediately shipped out and that they had days, not years, to locate blasting caps. A degree, being a director, and being an author on a subject does not allow one to control the passage of time.

This will be the last time a title will be used in lieu of evidence in this thread. "Dr." isn't the same as "is always correct". Evidence cannot lie.
