Well, I can see you have quite a strong opinion about ICF's. However, as I mentioned, the portion of my posts not bearing directly on concrete are supported with built up 2x8's. In order to do this I had to sacrifice some foam and cut it away from the concrete. This allowed me to lag the 2x8's to the concrete wall. This also gave me a chance to see what the pour ended up looking like. I must say I was a little afraid to do this, for I may not like what I see. In all the sections that were cut out it showed a perfect pour. No air pockets...... nothing to worry about.
Not sure if this makes you feel any better about ICF's, but this was my personal experience and I'm no foundation expert. I did have professional help though.
