USG contends that it was known that paper reinforced gypsum boards, because of the problems associated with exposure to water, constituted the "weak link" of EISystem and it, therefore, would have been obvious to use a fiberglass board.

Gypsum board comprising a set gypsum core faced with a fibrous mat, the gypsum core including one or more additives which are effective in simultaneously improving the water resistance and fire resistance properties of the board in an amount at least sufficient to impart to the board improved water resistance and fire resistance properties.
