The article mentions misconceptions about fire resistance, but then doesn't list fire resistance as one of the things that they tested.
Misleadingly, they compare the energy efficiency of this construction technique against existing homes, not against the current standard for new homes.
And there is no mention of the cost difference; not even in the section entitled "Building with straw - the figures".
I feel that the journalist could have done far better here.
