How do you even begin to seal up a house that settles a different way each season? Modern advice assumes flat, square walls. Trying to force batts into a lath and plaster wall with years of bulges is a nightmare. And don't get me started on balloon framing creating invisible chimneys for cold air. You end up fighting the house's character instead of working with it.
