If I'm a lying, I'm a dying!! I lived in Mesa, Arizona 30+ years ago. I was looking for an item in a hardware store and this late 20s, early 30s chick (pretty decent looking) walked up to the man at the checkout and asked how this "STUD" finder worked. So he explained it to her!!! She turned bright red, laid it down on the counter and beat feet for the door!! I asked the guy if that had happened before. He said 1 or 2 times a month!!!!!!! 
The part that upsets me was I was so slow to think and respond that I did not hit on her. (This was back when I was a male HO!!)

The students finder is designed to locate and identify substance behind a facade. In her experience it's often lacking and sometimes conceals an hollow empty shell that will collapse from lack of integrity and support. Many times it's an older structure showing poor maintenance and upkeep - not a model approved of or desired by younger well off and we'll educated buyers. Once identified it should be avoided lest one be injured when the walls inevitably come crashing down...
I don't think the above referenced aforementioned quote of sage womanly wisdom has anything to do with houses...
