None of this was forgotten. If they extended their study to a month's worth of -20F, all of that mass will cease looking so attractive. It will work well if all you care about is keeping your house above freezing but most do not consider that livable.

He did? I just scanned through it (watched it fully the first time) and could not find it. Or are you saying he admitted that it was not forgotten and did not read the rest of my post? He sort of admits that in a sideways fashion.

If I cut my heat when it's 14 out, my house does not drop to below freezing in 6 hours, or become uninhabitable in 24 hours. What the hell are they on?

Absurd open. Are they just going to assume we were supposed to build 150 million homes in 250 years as a string of log cabins? Dismiss all the new engineering material changes since the 1500s and choose hardwood for everything?
