The first point is a good one

The first point is a good one and illustrates on the subject of material integrity are often more guided by unsupported intuition and emotion than logic (Diablo 3 Gold)...

when I worked selling doors and windows, I don't know how many times I had potential customers arguing for plain glass being somehow more secure than a leaded glass panel in a door, allegedly because the leaded glass would be "easier" to get through...when it was pointed out that a rock or tire iron would go through even a dual glazed panel with the same effort that it took to get through a leaded glass panel, they would sheepishly admit that they hadn't thought of that, but you could see that many of them still didn't want to believe that nearly all glass offers practically no security at all.

Some would argue that tempering changed things, and they were right- a tempered glass panel is actually less secure in a break in, since the whole thing shatters and leaves the opening completely unblocked...regular annealed glass leaves shards that make using the opening far more dangerous and time consuming (Diablo 3 Gold).

And it isn't just glass that allows easy access to houses- most aluminum framed windows in tract housing are held in with 2-4 nails and whatever trim goes over them and can be popped out entirely in minutes, and even wood siding and stucco can be breached in a handful of minutes with a saw or just a big haBottom line is that what people consider "secure" when it comes to building shells is often not secure at all, and may offer scant extra protection over something like textile sheathing that might intuitively seem far less secure.
