#1 who cares?
#2 as he concedes, walls do need to be able to dry out when they get wet.
Hair splitting
#3 not well argued, besides he fails to consider the owner
(dweller)-builder option which changes the economics
#4 o.k.
#5 first one that I found useful and that I can agree with
#6 technical point I've never stumbled over/heard claimed - fine
#7 forest~/~trees a home that 'needs' a compressor AC is a badly designed
home
#8 stretching to fill his list here. Why is this on the list?
#9 "When it comes to heat distribution, a
Btu<http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/glossary/8#term962>is a
Btu."Talk about a myth!
#10 contradicts his debunking of #3
