Still does work, so long as it's 15mm or thicker but, why would you when there's thinner products that do a better job. Get yourself out of the stone age and move with the times. You're making yourself look very stupid by continually arguing the toss and going against everything the manufacturers recommend, if you end up having to defend a failed floor in court one day, you'll get laughed at when an industry professional looks at it and sees the 6mm ply base.

15mm my backside, that'd be a nice big step in the doorway.

Lmao so why doesn't 5.5mm ply work then? Do the tiles miraculously become unstuck?

I think you're the one making yourself look stupid - I think I have probably forgotten more than what you know about tiling!
