I'd agree with you, except that TLG ships composite elements which also come
apart, such as minifig torso/arms/hands/head assemblies (not that I think L-
CAD is going to start releasing shortcut files like those particular TLG
elements). I suppose if Todd hadn't used minifigs in his examples, I would
have drawn my line differently.
Oh, and the horses aren't fused. You just have to be patient, they don't like
to come apart very fast. It's pretty cool to have a horse looking over it's
shoulder (usually at the wagon driver).
