Since your EXPERTS on the silkey site say
"I would not expect her to know much about any crested breed. "
I'm assuming you are refering to MY comments on never having heard of the skulls refered to as VAULTED,No, I didn't say they don't exist - Just I've never heard it refered to as such

From your freinds discription sounds to me like the Brain potruding thru the skull makes the Vault?
If you beleive him then the crested breeds would cease to exist
the chickens head gets pecked to many time for it to survive running around with the brain making the knob
There is a bony knob on the top of the skull,which makes the feathers stand up

This is what I scaned from the Amican Standard of Perfection 1998
its on page 7 of the glossary of technical terms
Look under the word crest
