True, this case isn't an example of coplanar, overlapping polygons. Good

But it is an example of what can happen when you take shortcuts that have
no visible effect at the time.
No offense meant to James--the number of parts he wrote was incredible.
Especially when you consider that he was creating the LDraw system at the
