I guess I'm not a a standard user. :-)
To me the objective should be to accurately represent the real world,
not to copy the LEGO instructions.

My point of view also disagrees here.
Studs of real transparent parts are hollow, at least in the parts I have
at hand.

So are we copying the real world studs of are we sticking with copying
the LEGO paper instructions?
I mean, the paper instructions are not the best LEGO can do.
All the building instructions of CyberMaster and TurboCommand, among
others, are 3D rendered in the computer in a quality we don't even get
close!
LEGO is evolving, why don't we evolve also?
