> If the stones move the house moves.

House obviously moves less on stone than on shitty McSlab. Stone without McConcrete akts like a spring on stress, McConcrete just cracks when overstressed. Would you pour concrete between pavers? Total dumbass.

>You can over-engineer the fuck out of concrete and make it unbreakable on anything

so that is why McRebar builds last so long? Neat-o!

> this wall system is state of the art building science.

I believe you but its durability just isnt there - its like comparing WV Touareg to Lada Niva (or Rolex to Vostok Amphibian).

>The stick structure and its membranes are not exposed to water, sunlight, or temperature changes.

yet they are wrapped in plastic, so in case water gets in there (protip- it will eventually) it will have a hard time getting out.
Ever noticed why wood buildings that lasted 500 years and still last dont cover their wood but expose those beautiful wood beams? It serves a superb function - wood can dry itself and breathe the moisture out. When you cover it with McIsolator2000 it rots itself inside out (same shit as McRebar explosion).
