Interesting and also somehow frightening, as in "...looks to me that if I
pull that brick out over there I'll collapse the entire building..."

This while being assured that removing just a few bricks (or quite a few)
will have no noticeable effect when the building is slapped back
together... (or that the seawall near the reactor will never be
breached... or that the oh so cleverly-designed steamship will never
sink...)

Forget that the re-assembled building is missing some offices, bathrooms,
maybe even a hallway or two (possibly even an entire floor), it still
looks more or less like the original building so everything's cool, yes?

Thanks for finding and posting. This is good background to have. It's
oddly fascinating to stare into the eyes of satan. (No! Wait! I don't mean
to start another religious thread, it's a figure of audio speech...)


Funny, Frank!
