I appreciate the architect being willing to resign in protest over what he believes is an irresponsible action that will damage the students' well-being. We need people willing to put their reputation and finances on the line when they think something is dangerous.
Personally, I'm not convinced by the argument he's making though. I'd like to see some evidence that not having a window in your sleeping quarters is psychologically damaging: I suspect it's not been uncommon in many places in the world, and throughout history.
On the other hand, I'd like to see evidence that Munger's idea, that the students will spend less time alone in their rooms and more time in a shared environment, will play out. I saw the reviews of the existing dormitory he'd built, but I don't consider that rigorous.
In general, I'd just like to see evidence once way or the other rather than knee-jerk speculation. Maybe I should get out of this thread.
