I own a property that was built in 2007. I have occupied it since 2015 and have redecorated. Therefore it was me, and not the architect and contractors, that built it. Ludicrous.

I understand it wasn't the point you were trying to make, I was trying to use it as a vehicle to engage the point I thought you were making, which is whether such races to the bottom are driven by actual market demand from real customers as opposed to being imposed from the top down against (or...

I think so. Presumably you've read them, in any event. Are the warhammer models I paint and convert still art if I never show them to anyone? That's pretty interesting.
