It's not exactly surprising that it worked ok, but if he didn't include any MPD
support, then the results aren't necessarily correct. Since he presumably only
pays attention to the locations of parts that he's willing to box, the
references to subfiles in the MPD will just be ignored. This means two things:
1. You won't get any replacement across the sub-sections. (In Datsville, there
probably aren't any cases where correct MPD handling would do this anyway.)
2. You could potentially have pieces boxed that aren't supposed to be. For
instance, if one model had a 3 brick high wall in a spot, and another had a 5
brick high wall in the same spot, the top bricks in the 3 brick high wall would
incorrectly be boxed.
