  Kinda reminds me of what my mom told me about St. Ann's church (formerly located beside the Wellington tunnel, demolished in 1970) . She said that when the building was demolished, the workers commented that there was not a single nail used in its construction--it was all doweling, and it could have stood for another century or two without any problem.

  when you add metal to a wood frame, both don't work together: with the wood movement, the hole for the metal become bigger and than the nail or screw isn't holding anything. Wood dowel move and expanse like the rest of the structure.
