In general, I question everything I see, hear, and read. Contrary to what you might think, I don't really go out of my way to disagree with you. Most of the time, I just slip past your posts without commenting on them, no matter what the content. AS is too full of hyperbole, errors, and inflamed egos for me to pick on everything I might disagree with.

The best way to resolve differences in source material facts is to cite references, compare the reputation of the sources, and to use a little bit of reason. Sometimes, no one knows the answer, and it all boils down to opinion.
That is not the case regarding ants and eating wood: Carpenter Ants Management Guidelines--UC IPM
"Carpenter ants don’t consume wood like termites but excavate it to make their nests"
The info on that page is inline with what I've seen in the field.
O.K. carpenter ants don't eat wood.
