Survivorship bias from a hundred years ago. We build things a lot better now.

You think I'm arguing against the communal knowledge of every industry? I'm arguing with the communal knowledge of every industry. We have way more knowledge, have better materials, know how to build things better, and we do build things better than before. I don't think we're going to agree, so I'm out.

You should really look at how building see constructed a century ago (full dimensional lumber) vs modern homes (OSB and TJIs).

Things aren’t built stronger, but they are built better since they are built more efficiently…... They are two wholefully different things.
