Don Friedman

In most recent issue of APT Bulletin Don has an excellent article on the
problematic ambiguity of selection of destructive probes. *Ambiguity in
Building Investigation: A Study of Sampling and Decision-Making with Field
Data*. His example being the means of obtaining a sense of certainty as to
the structural condition of steel spandrel encased in masonry construction.
His logical arguments lend themselves to any investigation and carefully
deconstruct the problem solving process of site investigation. I highly
recommend a reading of this article for anyone who has to deal with property
owners who do not understand the importance of pre-construction
investigation. I also recommend it for anyone who sees a probe team in action
as theater of the absurd.

Question is... should Don, as writer, be sucked onto BP? Next question, could
we get Don to post his article on PIGhabit-L?
