I'm responding here because I don't want to interfere with the thread you've posted but I wouldn't expect a significant discussion to take place. When you're criticizing the demonstrations of the experts they cite, regardless of how politely you word it, they consider it an ad hom attack against an authoritative source. This is always how it's been taken by people I've made an effort to have this sort of exchange with:\

Although I wish the best in the exchange and hope it can be productive

Ah, no, he's complaining that I'm being unprofessional because I'm disagreeing with a fellow professional.

I find this quite funny as one of the roles of the Professional Practice Committee which I sit on is to consider the performance of other architects. I can assure you that I wouldn't use the incompetent tag if I wasn't happy to stand up in front of 10 other architects at the RIBA in London and explain, in front of Gage, why he's a disgrace to the profession.

Gage always says that the time for debate is over. He's wrong - there are important discussions to be ahd about the fire performance of tall structures and how best to protect them. His debate, however, will never get off the groudn because it is simply unsubstantiated and poorly reasoned rubbish. And I think Gage knows it.

You derive too much confidence from sitting in the majority position.

Well feel free to wander over to the thread I created and explain my technical errors. You seem gey reluctant to do so thus far.
 
Scotts is the closest language to English, and a delightful throwback to late Old and Middle English.
