Pretty much. We can't get past the big wigs until the big wigs are no longer enforcing beliefs that make little sense.

What happens when you add that much weight to a flat roof and then the snow comes? I'm guessing the snow load is just enough in most cases.

I am 43, definitely not my experience when I was growing up in CA. When did the kids go from "good - well behaved" to "bad -poorly behaved"? Honest question - I really don't know any kids.
