26. It's not common sense to ignore facts.
9/11 conspiracy theories ignore known facts surrounding the events, and especially ignore facts of science and engineering. Instead, what one sees are argument from incredulity, straw men, special pleading, and other fatuous logic. This is all easily debunked, but it doesn't stop the conspiracy theorist who blindly believes what they will believe in spite of it all.

I think that the way ChimpCo handled 9/11 was horrible. But I see clearly that it was errors of omission, and not comission. They ignored the clear warnings and through incompetence or through plan, let the attack happen. Let's make it very clear, that there is zero doubt that the plane collisions brought down the buildings.

Sir William of Okham said it this way, "Do not unnecessarily multiply entities."
Unfortunately, that's precisely what conspiracy theorists do the most.
