For instance, standards committee meetings full of risk managers from
insurance companies who only pay for losses vs new construction costs,
and drywall manufacturers eager to help write the code :-)

You sound like the plumber who wrote to the rule makers telling them
how great acid was for cleaning pipes. After a number of letters back and
forth, they finally used words he could understand: It eats the *&%* out
of the pipes.

When that stuff gets in a fire it gives off deadly fumes. Those rules
usually are written after someone dies. I am old enough to know you
should learn form others errors.
