George,
And your point is...?

That if you start with poor information, your outcome is likely to be the
same. The inch per year is folklore, and your invocation of it indicates
that you haven't really done much information-gathering about drying wood.

If you don't understand what's happening as wood dries, then any kiln is
just a magic hat, and you may spend much frustrating time pursuing the
combination that finally reveals the rabbit.
