To put this into perspective, there are more than 86,000 member architects registered with the American Institute of Architects.

One estimate puts the total number of architects in America at 233,000. Another states that there are approximately 700 architects for every million people.

Let's look at the lower number: 86,000 member architects. Let's assume that even as many as 1,000 of the 1,300 on AE911Truth.org are architects vs. being engineers. If we assumed just for a moment that these member architects represent the total number of architects in America, even that would mean barely 1% of them are a part of this group. This is a conservative estimate compared to the overall number of architects. I would be more confident to state that a mere fraction of 1% of architects in America are apart of this group. A small fraction.

This doesn't necessarily mean that non-members don't believe what this group says, but it does highlight the fact that a tiny minority of architects are amongst their number.

I would go as far as to say that I wouldn't be surprised if far more than 1,300 architects believe that this group is an embarrassment to their trade.

And also consider that I haven't even taken the total number of engineers into account.
