The damage to the siding is *much* worse than the damage to the Tyvek.

So what? The siding and the Tyvek are made from two different
materials. In a car crash, does the glass dent like the metal parts?
Get a grip, doofus.

The point is that Pete is claiming quite the opposite -- that the Tyvek is
damaged more badly than the siding -- to support his assumption that the
damage was caused by an internal heat source. It's clearly obvious in the
photos posted by the OP that, in fact, the siding has sustained far more
damage than the Tyvek underneath it, both in terms of the severity of the
damage, and the size of the damaged area. This argues strongly for an external
cause, but Pete is so firmly wedded to his notion of an internal heat source
that when presented with evidence indicating otherwise he denies it exists (in
the case of the discoloration of the siding) or states it to be exactly the
opposite of what is plainly visible (as in the case of the extent of the
damages to the siding and to the Tyvek). Get the point, doofus?
