*it should be noted that anyone can join linkedin.com for free and set up a profile, so there is no guarantee that page is authentic (even though it seems accurate). i mention this because i was able to verify that meigs attended dartmouth and that he was a 1980 graduate, along with his wife who also attended there <a href="http://unauthorized link.com/cd6a6a" target="_blank">

-i could not and did not find any official documentation to estbalish/confirm what meigs studied while attending dartmouth. aside from meigs' linkedin profile and bollyn's article (who probably used linkedin as his source), there is no record of what meigs studied at one of america's most expensive ivy league schools. but assuming he did indeed study 5 years of philosophy, imo meigs is unfit and unqualified to debate any scientific or technical data, especially with regard to 9/11.









ETA:



btw - i really have to add that im by no means excusing meigs or giving him a free pass. i think its awesome that you called him rob and tried to hold his feet to the fire. i didnt say it before, and i think it requires clarification, but regardless of his lack of proper qualified expertise, meigs has attempted to play the scientific authority on the matter of 9/11, and thus he should be made to answer for it. if you ever do get him on the phone or in person, present him with technical questions first and when he refuses to answer, then ask him how it is that BA in philosophy qualifies him to have any sort of "expert" opinion or insight on the events of 9/11.
