Nothing.

This person is kinda saying nonsense.

Wood is perfectly sound for structural building.

There are wooden temples in Japan dating back to the 6th(7th?) century.

A stone structure would have been shook apart by now.

Different materials have different use cases.

    Right but for earthquakes the global standard is imperial. Nobody uses metric, except the french during the paris commune, the kingdom of hawaii, and mongolia.

    Maaaaaybe north korea and cuba, but definitely not vietnam; it was a whole thing in the 80s.
