Speculation is unhelpful, we all await the RAIU report

Speculation may be unhelpful, but isn't that more or less what Barry's claims that
the cracks were purely cosmetic and nothing to do with the collapse are?
While the cracks may not have been the cause of the collapse, they may have been a sign that the underlying structure was weakened. As far as I understand, the engineer's examination was purely visual, so what does he have to go on other than cracks like these? Are there tests such as ultrasound or non-visible EM frequencies to examine the underlying structure?
Apologies if this is too much speculation.
