   A long time ago, when troofing was at its height and I was arguing with   
   somebody about it in another place, I encountered this argument that the   
   energy required to crush the concrete was not available, and this was a very   
   common, widespread troofer "proof". What puzzled me was that this   
   calculation was all in kilowatt hours, a very strange unit to use for   
   energy. What's wrong with joules?   
      
   A little googling sorted it out. Troofers do all their "investigation" via   
   web browser. Anything not on the internets doesn't exist for these dogged   
   investigators. The troofer in question had looked around for the energy   
   required to crush concrete... and found the website of a manufacturer of   
   industrial concrete crushing machines- whose energy usage is specified as   
   its customers would be interested, in consumption of electricity by the   
   machinery... in kilowatt hours. The fact that controlled crushing of loads   
   of concrete to a specified particle size, in a machine, bears no direct   
   relation to the crushing of concrete in a collapsing building was apparently   
   beyond him.
