Here's a snippet of the article that ChadV linked:
[blue]Timbie believed that "the original [engineering] analysis of the structure was inaccurate," Galland recalled. He said he had no copy of Timbie's report to the Cowboys and did not recall its conclusions in detail.
Generally speaking, Timbie's conclusions "were accurate but not important," he said. "He's not an expert in this style of buildings."
In his e-mail Saturday, Galland said he was "interested in the science behind engineering. Engineering in itself is of little interest to me as it tends to simplify that which is not."
He stressed that the tentlike structures he analyzes are nonlinear, making his physics skills more useful than a "static engineering approach. In general, engineers do not excel in physics or mathematics." [/blue]
Wow. Galland is a guy who got within a credit of a BS degree in physics and then decided that a class that the university required "wasn't necessary". Then claims on his credentials that he has a BS degree. Then claims that he's getting a graduate degree from UNLV when in fact he hasn't even enrolled there. Then it turns out that he served 4 1/2 years for pulling a gun on a woman, assaulting her, etc. and being involved in drug trafficing between Washington state and Montana. And then he states the above quotes (bold emphasis mine).
What hogwash.
