What we're talking about here is someone carelessly modeling something
without the actual element in hand -- that's not roundoff, but pure
guessing.  And guessing Wrong.

It's one thing to omit detail -- it's quite another thing for a
measurement to be off by 4 LDU when it could just as well be right on
target.

Whoa, big boy.  Calling someone careless when they are doing the best they
can is pretty ... oh how did you put it... ah, yes... anal-retentive.

OK, fair enough.  But I submit that someone who is modeling an element blind
(without an actual copy of it to work from) is *not* doing the best they can.


Shall
that be "mother's milk" or "milk of mag".  The point is point to the errors
without pointing at the author.  The author in this case has been pretty
restrained about commenting IMO.  We all want LDraw to move forward, but not
at the expense of losing a promising new parts author.  Hell, at least he
has done some authoring.  If want to kick someone kick me because I'm to
lazy too do it myself.  Show a little respect, sheez.

OK, I probably shouldn't talk then.  I haven't modeled any parts myself.  :-/
