Don't forget that there are also many other combustible materials inside the buildings. Some reports show that temperatures in some pockets hit nearly 1000 degrees Celsius. That's plenty to damage the structural integrity enough to cause one floor to collapse. The weight of the falling floors combined with the extra force from all the top floors falling would be plenty to cause a complete collapse.You're bumping the number up to fit your argument. Jet fuel burn under 350 degrees C in open air conditions.
To your combustible material inside point I say that there had to be automatic sprinklers inside (which would lower the intensity of the jet fueled burning).
To your "weight of falling floors' claim. It just holds absolutely no water. We are talking about 11-17 floors collapsing. That will not destroy a whole building (especially in under 2 hours).
