Firstly, the "6 out of 10 commissioners don't believe the story" is numerically wrong and misleading. There's 14 commissioners, so how does the math work?
Secondly, the source of much of the buzz in the conspiracy involves the difficulty in getting answers to basic questions. Two logical answers for this: usual fog of war, and more sinister, a re-election campaign. Most of the answers that were not easily answered were about preparedness. You can understand (but maybe not forgive?) the reticence in answering those questions.
None of the commissioners think anyone but terrorists did it, and none think the government is hiding complicity. That's absolutely stupid. I'm not being mean here, but it takes a certain level of cognitive dissonance to arrive at any other conclusion

Some people actually don't take the government at their word, 14 out of 14 commissioners or not I don't care what the commission said. Obviously there was enough circumstancial evidence to cause suspicions to rise, much like there was with JFK.
Jets stood down
White house staff met with members of Al Qaeda one day before 9/11
First steel structure ever to fall from fire, and then the second, and then miraculously a third (note fire being one of the reasons the commission gave)
Passports of terrorists at landing site
Firemen reporting explosions and secondary blasts
Weird behavior from president Bush.
Now this obviously isn't proof of a conspiracy, it's enough coincidence to make one logically contemplate the possibility of less than ethical behavior though.
To just flippantly say you're stupid for not believing the US government... why should we? What exemplary behavior do we have to follow that shows they are that trustworthy and exempt from scrutiny?
Their past president went to war over oil and opium, this one legalized fascism and drone strikes against their own population. I'm not seeing the logical stretch you are to sit and contemplate the possibilities, entertaining an idea without accepting is generally a logical way to go about things. It's just so condescending when there's so many patterns of evidence that logically should raise suspicion or at the least curiosity.
This fire was hot enough to melt steel columns, but the passports managed to land softly and untarnished in a pile of rubble. That's not weird at all, nothing to see, move along.
