Default Refurb of old walls - insulate inside or outside?

the main recommendation in:
Insulate and Weatherize (Build Like a Pro - Expert Advice from Start to
Finish) by Bruce Harley (Paperback - 1 Jun 2008)

is to seal all air leaks
and install a mechanical ventilation system
which will work the same in windy and still air conditions.

More water gets into a building in small air leaks than through permeable
walls and ceilings.

Perhaps the OP may like to purchase - on the other hand as you have a
copy:-

what does he actually specify to do in this situation?
