Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability of inadequate strength, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity loads, which could lead to the excessive deflection of panel-type subflooring, which could lead to sagging or cracking of flexible or brittle finished floor between floor joists, which could lead to an uneven walking surface, which could lead to persons tripping or falling, which could lead to harm to persons.
