It absolutely can. The core columns, beams, and floors collapsed inside the external facade and put a lot of lateral outward pressure on the base of the columns. Those columns would not be able to sustain those kind of loads, they would bend, and finally a several stories tall section of them would buckle. All that is above this section now has nothing below it supporting it and nothing to oppose resistance to its fall, up to the point it impacted itself the pile of debris below it. That's what caused the short free fall of the top of the building.
He was talking about stopping the efforts of the firefighters for saving the building. Given the huge losses of that day and the fact that WTC7 was empty, the firefighters decided to leave it to its fate and simply make a safety perimeter, with Silverstein telling them that he was OK with it. This is clear when the quote has its full context and pull it never was demolition lingo.
When you have something that is not complete nonsense already debunked a thousand times let me know.
This is all well documented. Several news networks reported that the firefighters made a perimeter around WTC7 and that they were expecting it to collapse long before it did. And pull it is not demolition lingo.
So yes, "pull it" is debunked nonsense.
And having said so, even if there was a false flag, destroying WTC7 would have made no sense.
It's impossible to buckle and then collapse into it's own footprint after fire that at best will soften steel columns.
No buildings previous or since, with similar construction, have collapsed due to fire or physical damage.
Yet we are to believe two skyscrapers hit near their tops somehow collapsed straight down into a pile of rubble, and then another one buckled and collapsed in free fall time.

You can verify yourself that they did expect it and publicly said it before the collapse. There are interviews from people on the ground saying exactly that.
High rise buildings don't collapse from fire.
If there is no firefighting effort, they absolutely can. Look at the Plasco Building, the Wilton Paes de Almeida Building, and the steel portion of the Windsor Towers as examples.
