The only reason I doubled the plates is because of the dampness of the basement. I figured that having wood that resists moisture would be better on the concrete floor than KD. There was really no other reason since I've never had water in my basement. I didn't double plate it to help any moisture problem, I'm sorry you thought that, I was merely explaining what I had done and why. I'm not sure why you chose to criticize that particular thing, but I wasn't suggesting that as a solution to a water problem. Having water in the basement is a bit different than having moisture.
