  au contraire!

... criticism may save a life!   ever see a  cement wall blow out? its 
an ugly mess,  dont stand near it.

   and people get trapped in falling dirt  trenches and die,  so  adding 
a voice of concern or caution is healthy for any building environs.

Building is inherently dangerous.. so sez  every book you will buy on 
the subject..cob or highly alternative cob is no different

     open discussion allows for pointing out where serious problems are 
and where improvement can be made.

so many newbies read these lists, and may go off and try something...so 
each of us has a responsibulity to offer "critisizm"  which is  based 
on avoiding trouble.

So if you meant  ME  saying to use "precast dried papercrete"..I stand 
by my words, based on experience.
