Then how could you possibly have all those miraculous sounding 
hundred year old uprights assembled with hide glue and not 
having rendered to splinters by now? Doesn't compute.


>and also supports mold, sometimes. 

As does bread, which is typically devoid of hide glue and 
chock full of nice friendly vegetarian ingredients that didn't 
bleed at all in it's making. And while we're here, what edible 
stuff on the planet, other than honey, *doesn't* spoil or 
mold, regardless of the kingdom and phylum of origin?

Well, maybe it's feet - maybe hides. We never really know.

And since a number of present day folks still chose to use hot 
hide glue for some things in spite of the availability of 
modern glues, why wouldn't these long passed genii do the same?

Rhetorical, mostly.
