"Properly installed"

There is no "properly installed" to a stucco application which does not meet the minimum requirements of the standard to which it is supposed to be installed.

That's like saying that "properly driving at 90 mph on a 70 mph speed limit road is okay as most of the time, it works out okay".

I've got a news flash here, 90 mph is only "okay" and "properly driving" on roads with a 90 mph speed limit ... or on a race track. Otherwise, it's just a case of 'everyone does it' when you get stopped and are chatting with the officer.
