I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you’d think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

    Furring strips and drywall don’t count as load bearing.

    Except for the thousands of use cases where they are used for lateral bracing to support the structure….

    Like in shear walls… strapped drywall ceilings… load bearing walls….

    Yes they can be used non-structurally, I’ve never claimed otherwise, yet you are ignoring the fact that they can, and are used in load bearing structural applications……
