No it isn't   It is the square footage of building interior
that is lost, if 20" strawbale walls are used, instead of
optimized wood framing with dense packed cellulose
insulation, to achieve the same Rvalue.

 I made no error. There is no "standard wall
thickness" involved.  The only error is yours,
in making false assumptions.

  No it isn't.  Where do you get this crap?  No one
said anything about 2x6s. You are just making that up.
