That is why they invented the nano-thermite theory, but we also know that it isn't that, from their own tests. So they invented the theory of 'supersecret unknown' thermite, because they wanted it to be thermite. Problem is, everything seen in the red paint chips is naturally occurring, you don't have to engineer it in a lab. So, the composition of the chips isn't a surprise. So why was this important again?
But let's reconsider the phrase 'energetic'; paper and potato chips are both energetic. In fact, paper is reported to be more energetic than thermite. Hmmm.
Pseudoscience.

Energetic...as in exothermic, it "ignited" in the differential scanning calorimeter, which resulted in the iron-rich microspheres (only present AFTER ignition). I also once read that Jones got one of the chips to ignite using a 12V battery. Repeated experiments from different collected and donated samples, achieved the exact same results. This is the closest i've come to reading, for the cause of the extreme heat and molten iron.
You're able to provide your own theory of all the elemental traces, that's great...However, i still find it odd that NIST et al admit that they never tested for explosives/exotic accelerant and after being challenged by Dr. Jones et al, they still refuse to test and provide their own theory.
I find it difficult to dismiss Jones et al as some so easily have...based, amongst other things, the simple fact that officials will not debate them nor test for any exotics.
These independent experts seem to have much more to lose in this debate...even though officials have yet to test for it, again, everything they claim "thermite can't do" has been proven wrong by this independent, in his own backyard:
