Those are fascinating observations! Do you have any recommended reading for those interested in learning about medieval construction?

Many different sources and read between the lines. Acoup.blog - he mostly covers earlier times but you can still get a sense. https://christophermschwarz.com/ has done a lot of research into historical woodworking though mostly latter time periods you can still learn a lot.
those are the big ones. After that tons of youtube library books and so on. Just beware that at least half is false and you get to figure out which confident self proclaimed expert knows anything. (i at least admitted a lot of ignorance and speculation above)
