Exterior Insulation Thickness and Vapor Permeance
Is there a good resource online to understand how the thickness of exterior insulation (or any material, for that matter) affects the vapor permeance of an assembly?
I hear things like mineral wool and wood fiberboard touted as more vapor permeable than foam, but it seems like if the insulation is thick enough, it approaches a low enough permeance that the differences are not as significant.

Andyfrog,
As usual Martin explains this far better than I could:
