Are you advocating the idea that we should use a substance known to cause
more deaths than another slightly more expensive substance simply because
the first one is cheaper?  Which in the housing market would mean that the
builder gets to make more profit?

But if the lawsuits pass, wouldn't both sides be able to present their own
"less than totally honest" statements, and the judges determine that the
weight of evidence is on the side against the companies?

This has nothing to do with what was discussed above ... which was how much
choice you had to live in an asbestos-free home.  This is more limited than
you asserted.  Add in the fact that some people are more vulnerable to asbes
tos exposure and you may be dooming some people to death if you use it.
