There's an ad on the radio for a local home builder that GMGs. They offer ICF and claim that it makes their houses up to 9x more comfortable to live in. Ok, how the hell do you come up with such a stupid statistic? Nine times more comfortable? Because you've got concrete walls? That makes my chair more cushy? Or it makes my furnace blow less hot air because you've insulated better? Either way, my room temp is 23, and my chair is the same.
Nine times more comfortable. F*** off. How about more expensive, but saves energy. That's the truth about ICF. It has superior insulative qualities, and costs more. Nothing about it makes the space inside your home "more comfortable". And how the f*** to you multiply your comfort by two, four, or frigging nine?
"Hey guys, this new Samsung TV is a gazillion DPI. That makes it 9 times more comfortable to watch"
"This key is only one centimeter long, which makes it up to nine times more comfortable to turn"
Stupid.
