Because the error in the program is larger than the error omitted by ignoring the lost energy to destroying structural supports.

It's not complicated.

But simply calculating the drop time with nothing to slow it down yields 9.2 seconds. No program required.

But we are supposed to believe 90 stories of a real building only took between 11 and 25 seconds.

Ridiculous! So just not asking and not understanding means you must be right.

The NIST explained NOTHING!
