So, to summarize. Large White Center Dots are NOT Stairwell Symbols. I was wrong to think of it that way, many moons ago; I certainly can and do make mistakes, all the time, and my machine gun spam of posts here hopefully isn't borne from not wanting to admit an error, rather from trying to understand if the error has any real effect. At the moment, I don't think this mistake produces a problem, given the functional equivalence between "inherent stairwells" and "Printed Stairwells" that has become (IMO) the norm over the years. We just don't see many distinctions between printed stairwells and inherent stairwells, particularly in SSRs that may remove upper levels from buildings. So much so, that I'll bet I'm not the only one who thinks of LWCDs as Stairwells, and has not been corrected as to this fallacy because for nearly all purposes except the obvious ones mentioned above (Factory Roofs and Vehicular Sized Entrances), they are functionally equivalent. The fact that they AREN'T completely equivalent is the reason why you don't see multihex buildings with LWCDs.
If anyone can think of cases I'm missing where mixing up these two would cause a real problem, please let me know. I hate to think I've messed something up for someone.
