Why is the Purdue simulation such a joke?

Here's a video of the Purdue cartoon "simulation"of the WTC hit:

Here are two screen grabs of the hole they say was made by the plane in tower 1:




Here was the hole in WTC1 on 9/11:


So the Purdue cartoon fails on every level:

1) Simple reality that a real plane would not slip past spandrel plates like a ghost. Simple reality that aluminum sheets would not slice through thick steel column like a knife through butter. Simple reality that steel spandrel plates would not wave in the wind like paper. I mean, what the f%$#??? The government paid them for this crap?

2) Common logic in terms of how an aluminum plane would act when crashing into a steel and concrete tower and how a fuel-laden wings would behave when crashing into a steel and concrete tower

3) REALITY in terms of how there was a massive explosion at the point of entry (as shown in actual videos of the 1st hit) that they do not model

4) Reality in terms of the hole that was produced in the tower by the "event". Why are the spandrel plates so prominent and the massive steel columns like toothpicks?

It seems to me that the money that Purdue spent on this computer model would be much better spent trying to figure out how (or even if) a Boeing 767 crashing into the tower could produce this odd hole in the tower that was seen with the column sections dangling down blocking the entry hole and the 97th floor blown away somehow.

But maybe they would have problems supporting the official fairy tale that way, I suppose, so they made their own fairy tale.
