I have been involved in investigating
several projects where such degradation of cement caused major
problems, including complete collapse of a major structure.
I don't think fence posts are 'major structures'.
lol. I'm not sure he's yet noticed that bedding fence posts doesnt

I've dealt with enough genuinely qualified 'experts' to not be
