I think you're exaggerating the strength of a steel beam, and entirely under-representing the heat of even a normal office fire. Fire is never "cool." If it's burning, it's hot.
I'm not trying to insult your intelligence or anything, but having a lack of evidence is not supporting evidence. It is also merely your opinion that the building chunks should have been larger. You have no proof that this is what should have happened.
Overall, I think some of these arguments are rather silly.
so what did the sprinklers have to put out?

The sprinklers in WTC towers were cut by the impact and non functional
Those at WTC 7 were rendered inoperable when the collapse of the WTC towers cut the water mains to the area
The sprinklers functioned for a short time until the storage tank in the building was emptied......

Where did I write that?
You do not need to be an expert to see the buildings were completely demolished. They did not fall over from where the planes hit and up, to damage most of the buildings as they should have. The north tower should have fallen over, if it collapsed to the point of impact. The buildings were demolished to dust and steel with rubble. The collapse should have weakened it's force on the way down as the rubble spilled outwards.
The collapse continued consistently to the ground which is impossible without explosives.
You don't need to know what kind of explosives and the reason you people are still debating about it is because you talk about things like 200 milliseconds a floor. You don't need theories with numbers when you can see what actually happened. Sometimes people get a little too carried away with what doesn't make sense because people are afraid of the truth that shows they were wrong. It's called denial
