[Strawbale] Pex supply lines in SB walls?

[John Swearingen]

Nothing wrong with that, but I would think it's overkill.  The bales
themselves are insulation, and would retain heat, and the hot pipes wouldn't
sweat.  Sweating would only be likely to occur with pipes bringing
especially cold water into a warm wall--from outdoors--and so those special
cases can be anticipated.

I think all water supply lines hot or cold should be
insulated with pipe insulation to insulate, retain
temp, reduce sweating therefore mold, insects, etc.
Does anyone disagree with this?
