Hilariously idiotic. The people are irrelevant. I am supposed to be impressed because you can do an inadequate job of explaining the square-cube law. Like engineers did not have to deal with that for decades before computers were invented.
Froude scaling was developed more than 100 years ago:

They made a 1:200th scale model of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge that oscillated like the real thing. It was 54 feet long and built in a wind tunnel.
They did it in 4 months in 1940.
So scientists and engineers have made real idiots of themselves by not doing it for the north tower in 12 years. A 1:100th scale model of the north tower would be less than 14 feet tall.

The model first appears at 2:45.
