Did the drywall come with such a warning? *If maybe it did, did anyone

If the builders don't install the drywall properly, how is that the
drywall's fault? Nails don't come with instructions: "Pointy-end first."



How often, if the owner isn't there to insist on it, will the side not
seen be be painted at all, or the edges. *How often does the owner
know it's supposed to have TWO coats on all sides?

I don't know. Reputation, skill, and experience of the builder maybe?



A lot of new houses get a light coat of spray paint on one side after
the walls are in and before the non-wood trim.

And how many install sheet-rock in a basement or garage or a home they
can't afford to complete and don't paint it for years.

And how many wire this unfinished basement with zip-cord?



Your sentence is like saying bald tires present no problem if they are
retreaded.

Exactly!



Or, poison gas presents no problem if all present are wearing gas
masks.

Exactly again! I think you've got it.

Nowhere is it recommeded to "seal" drywall against Vapor Poisoning.
