it will prevent busting the siding if there are errant impacts from the
inside. From my experience with the siding, I think it would hold up to
moderate impacts from the outside because the studs would support it
pretty well if on 16" centers.


Maybe I got the super-uber-strength Hardiboard or something, but this
stuff is as strong as your typical 3 or 4 ply low grade 1/4" plywood. I
would put in up against 1/4" ply on a hammer test, any day.
