If life was a pre-progammed computer of virtual reality, nothing would be "too dangerous or too expencive " to perform either.
That is quite a baseless broad tar brush to spread over at least 40% of the US population and 65% of world population.
Whenever you have an opinion in disagreement with others, does that automatically make you and others dishonest because of differing opinions (hypotheses)?
What have you done to honestly disprove an opponent beyond your own opinion?
If you are not interested in the full truth concerning 9/11, that is your perogative. However, it is not your perogative to baselessly denigrate many, many others who are. Is it really any concern of yours how other people do what you opine as "wasting their time"? If so, why would that be?

If it was "just like the real thing", there should be no problem accomplishing the same in a real airplane. "Just like the real thing" has the same weight, mass and velocity attached to the ground as real airplanes? Yes, it definitely makes a difference in real airplanes.

Particularly, when it comes controlling over a couple of hundred thousand pounds of weight and mass, plus, more than a few actual thousands foot pounds of engine thrust, from each engine, while not being securely attached to the ground.

May I ask you a question? If the hijackers didn't fly into the towers who did?

If the hijackers had the training in the sims, how come they did not know how to use the radio and intecom. Several times they thought they were talking to the passengers when they were broadcasting?
Also the hijackers would have needed to get into the cockpits and subdue the pilots in under 4 seconds.
It only takes 1 second for the pilot to key the mike and make a emergency call.
It only takes about 4 seconds the set the hijack codes on the transponder.

If your already talking on the radio how come you could not call for help ?
So please explain to me. What are the odds of out of 4 planes (8 pilots) Not one getting off an emergeny call or signal. Has it ever happened in aviation history?
Oh and by the way at least 1 of the planes had prior warnings about the other hijackings.
