The alleged hijackers were said to be incompetent at flying.

Your hypothesis collapses right here.

'The WTC, on this low-wind day, was likely not stressed more than
a third of the design allowable, which is roughly one-fifth of the yield
strength of the steel. Even with its strength halved, the steel could still
support two to three times the stresses imposed by a 650°C fire.'

I've done no such thing, liar.

Cites? The above is from the first link you gave, remember.
