Roundhead the engineers DO NOT claim that steel melted. In fact, no one who understands how the building fell claims that the steel melted. They only point out that a fire under these circumstances was hot enough to WEAKEN the steel. This combined with the severe damage from a PLANE hitting the structure caused at least one floor to collapse. The one floor collapsing combined with the weight of the floors above caused the pancaking.

How hard is this to understand?

Also you don't address that Les Robertson the designer to the WTC. Who built the WTC to withstand a 707 plane says that FIRE brought the buildings down. You forget the buildings did stand after the impact. So they exceeded the design requirements.
