The tapering wouldn't be so much problem if people change the design of 2WTC and make it an essential twin of 1WTC, because the twin element doubles and boosts the presence of the tower.
Here's a crude pic of what it would look like if 2WTC is changed to the twin of 1WTC sans spire. The feeling of weakness from tapering is solved.
However, it seems most people on this thread prematurely gave up and fiercely opposes any design change, always rationalizing and justifying what has been planned by authorities (current 2WTC plan) even if it's not currently happening (2WTC is on-hold).
We can hope that 2WTC is still capped at the foundations stage, NOT even half or fully-built, and the design could be changed to incorporate twin element.
Also, we could name our tentative new twin towers 'Freedom and Liberty towers', 'West and East towers', or simply 'Twin Towers',
'1 and 2 World Trade', whatever you like.
