What the architect I use regularly was saying was that the charts were using older data and the "F" strength wasn't the same anymore on lumber as the "old days".... From what i understand the Bldg inspectors will accept the signature from Arch signing off on sizing, but typically the arch will go with inspectors "suggestion".
I am on a Baja Calif forum also and the arch takes responsibility for it all - no inspectors! Wow!
