experienced 42 inches of deflection which resulted in collapse.Why is it that this deflection result has not been able to be reproduced in a laboratory environment?The most deflection they have been able to get reproducing a similar environment of heat stress is 3 inches?

It's pretty clear that they haven't reproduced the environment correctly.

Even the pancake theory isn't plausible according to the NIST report of WTC 1 and 2.
It took me 4 years to finally start waking up...... at least be open to alternative theories. The demolition theory has never been disproven.... why did all the buildings experience all the characteristics of a demolition job?:
Pyroclastic Flow
Squibs
Molten Metal at the base of all 3 buildings
Falling into its own footprint
Falling at virtually free-fall speed (where was the resistance?)
etc.

This is a situation where it would be impossible to recreate the actual conditions on the truss. There is no way to know with certainty, what loads were truly being applied to theses truses and thus simliar results cannot be acurately simulated in a lab.
Conspiracy theorists should relax.
