You claimed that the plan to get four hijacked planes past the most powerful defense establishment the world has ever seen was "not at all complicated or prohibitively expensive" and I showed that you were wrong, it was extremely complicated, and in fact a whole lot of stuff that could predictably go wrong DID go wrong.
The domestic flights were not "past the most powerful defense establishment". NORAD had scrambled fighters 1600 times over 4 years for missions to identify or aid unknown aircraft. These scrambles were from domestic air bases. Major Nasypany said the problem with the radar was too many blips, not that they couldn't see the hijacked planes. We already went over that. You won't learn.
Your framing of the issue as shoot-down is dishonest. NORAD was tasked with interception and they didn't do that. There were many steps between interception and shoot-down. Pointing a plane at a building is not complicated, but hitting it at 500 miles an hour when it's only 200 feet wide or only 75 feet high is not easy.
Your own diagram shows 15 core columns directly accessible from the elevator shafts, and another 4 in close proximity.
If you didn't get your talking points from propaganda websites you might pick another floor than the 94th floor sky lobby for your sample. The 79th floor, for instance, shows 18 core columns directly accessible, with another 11 in close proximity.
At the 45th floor, 25 core columns were directly accessible, with another 15 in close proximity. That's 40 out of 47.
Where do you get the idea that you can't have a quiet controlled demolition by thermite?
