I omitted a bunch of text where you keep claiming I said things I never 
said (and Nicholas seemed to understand what I meant from the get-go)

Right, and this kind of "aesthetically driven breakage" is what prompted 
me to participate in this thread in the first place.

clarify whether aesthetical demolition is a tenable way forward.

Cheers
