I always get mixed feelings when I see a picture of something that is proclaimed to be amazing because of its inefficient construction. “Wow, look at this life-sized moose statue, made completely from toothpicks!” It’s an accomplishment because of the time and patience necessary, but there are much better ways to build a moose statue.
It’s like origami – sure it’s cool that you can make things purely by folding, but I bet I could do it a lot quicker with scissors and some tape.
