Actually, meticulous building when you have too many pieces, is slow.

Tonight I had to hunt for that baggie of dk.gray plates, and lost a bunch of

Long ago I could riffle through 6000 pieces on a cloth bag and know every bit
like a dragon's hoard. The equivalent today is to rummage through a closet
filled with trays to discover totally forgotten Lego.
