The article makes it clear that this superwood is not meant to compete with wood used it traditional stick built construction. It's meant to compete with structural steel once it has been able to get certified for those uses and building codes are adapted.
Ordinary massed timber can also compete with structural steel. I did read it, and when I wrote this that's what was in mind.
