What did this have to do with saving my laptop?! 
I actually didn't dig deep enough to find your comment. I found what I said about your comment.
Congratulations I played telephone with myself.
I saw diagrams like that, but didn't notice the drywall clip.
I also saw this, which is apparently called "conventional:"
[Is this the Fresno corner? When I tried to search for it Google asked "Did you mean Fresno
coroner?" When I added "Framing" I received few results, and all of them were bad]
Apparently that fell out of favor because it is difficult to insulate that gap, but 4-stud corners are just fine, and you can totally insulate behind a 2-stud corner!
Do you squish insulation in there?
All of those allow 2" foamboard, which may have the same r-value of 3.5" fiberglass insulation.
New plan! I leave the insulation, install one additional 2x4 in each corner, and invest in these newfangled "Drywall clips!"
Thanks, Frank Lee!
