Even if the top floors collapses that does not explain the domino effect we see in the WTC collapse videos. You're claiming that because the floors were large the top floors cause the lower floor (that are not on fire) to just collapse at once (in less than 2 hours). It doesn't work like that.
Rationalize it in what way? I mean, you say rationalize as if it is a bad thing. Would you rather I unrationalize and make wild claims?
Yes, it does completely explain the domino effect. It's simple. Something heavy lands on something else. If it is heavy enough to collapse that something, it will do so. It then gains the weight of the said thing it has collapsed and will subsequently crush the next thing below it, given that said thing is also not strong enough to hold up the weight of these collapsed structures. Such was the case with the floors of the World Trade Centers. Now, if it was controlled demolition, there would have been explosions within the structure while rescue efforts were underway. There was no such thing. Furthermore, it would not have collapsed from the top down. It would have collapsed from the inside. The effect would have been pretty much the same, but we would not have seen very clearly that it was being crushed from the top, as we see from every angle in every video.

There is a very notable difference. You can even fucking see the flashes as the demo materials explode.
