Your job is not to prove why you prefer Chinese style kitchens. I merely asked you to explain your analogy. I was trying to understand your analogy, because, having cooked in western kitchens and been in bedrooms (often in the same house!), it made no sense to me. It's not like people generally sleep in their kitchens. Your reasoning seems to be that cooking makes your house smell. Even if this is true, I still don't see how this makes your kitchen feel like your bedroom. Then you talked about hoods, with an undefined "adequacy" measure. I correctly suspected here you were going to use this undefined adequacy measure to move away from the analogy about cooking in your bedroom (presumably because it is inexplainable) to start a separate argument and take it wherever you needed to. You found some study (about Canada, but there's a lot of "West") that talks about hoods (being found in 90% of homes). But you see, some of these hoods are not adequate enough... sigh OK, all that is beside the point, because again, what does any of this business about hoods have to do with bedrooms? | |||||||||||||||||

You’re really overcomplicating this. The analogy isn’t about dragging a bed into the kitchen, it’s about the way smells and particulates permeate living spaces when ventilation is weak or nonexistent. In an open floor plan, cooking odors don’t stay “in the kitchen,” they drift into the same areas where you relax, sleep, or work. That’s the point: the boundaries between spaces collapse, so it feels like you’re cooking in your bedroom. If you can’t grasp that distinction after multiple explanations, then maybe the analogy isn’t the problem. Happy to discuss if you actually have anything constructive to add but please your beating a dead horse for no reason. | |||||||||||||||||
