  Yes, it provided load support but it’s not providing structural load support……

  To be extremely clear, your own, provided definition, is not talking about structural components.

  Yes, on an interior, non-structural wall drywall can stiffen the structure. No, that does not mean the drywall is structural.

    You’ve never heard of a drywall shear wall…?

    God, why is so hard for people to accept drywall is structural lmfao. It’s not stiffening it, read the provided link it explains it quite well multiple times with extra resources for you to follow up if you choose,

      Well, you’ve changed the goalposts from drywall on furring strips to a shear wall.

        Uhhh what…? I was explaining how everything is structural while you kept moving the goalposts away from furring strips being able to be used structurally. Yeah I picked a not so great example, but they are still fucking structural components lmfao.

        Give your head a shake.

  I just realized that you’re confusing gypsum board with drywall. While they are similar, gypsum board can be used for the loads you’re describing.

  Drywall, however, cannot.

    Uhh… what…? They are the exact same product. You’re gonna have to provide a link for this one lmfao.

    Are you seriously just going to throw shit at the wall and move every goalpost to try and save face now? Jesus fucking Christ lmfao.
