Learn how to read. He said environment, not place A to place B.

Your post is closer to your own description than his.

        Try not to be a fucking tard.

        I don't care WHERE the fuck you move it, it has the R value
tomorrow as it did yesterday. A or B, this 'environment' or that,
irrelevant.

If you lived in the real world you would know that the effective
R-value is the real value of insulation.

As environmental factors come into play over and above test
conditions the effective R-value changes from the tested
R-value. Different types of insulation have different rates
of change.

So when you make the statement..............
" A given piece of insulating material has a given R value, period. "
You are taking a very simplistic view of insulation.

So............... " Try not to be a fucking tard "

        Are you the same guy who invented SEER as a replacement for
EER ? It's the same logic.

        What you're TRYING to say, and failing miserably at it, is
that various kinds of insulation have various appropriate
applications. This is the equivalent of saying 'you need a
screwdriver to drive screws, and a hammer to drive nails'. This is
true.

        However, you and the OP are implying that if there's a nail in
front of you, then by definition it tool in your hand is a hammer,
because it 'has to be'. Further, that if you move to stand in front
of a screw, the tool in your hand becomes a screwdriver all by itself.

        It does not compute.

        Not at all. Whne you say that APPLICATION changes the nature
of the substance ( and that is what you said ), you are being ....


        A tard.
