There needs to be a pre-laid frame work to ram the earth to... it's the first thing covered in the article you sent me, but it's also a given... sand castles are small, hence don't need it, but a full sized house, prone to geological vibrations, etc, would need a framework beyond just packed mud.
Unless you're talking about packed mud bricks, stacking/sealing them, which is a different beast, and can be done, but is expensive when the mud isn't readily available. (Clay is the best mud to use for pack bricks.)

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
