I've got over 40 cars in my collection now that could (...) (13 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

But as you say, the system is designed so that every piece connects to at least one other piece (...) (13 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) He says "LEGOs" which makes his work suspect right there. :) Not very rigorous. The paper is from 2001... the piece palette has improved somewhat since then. But generally I'm not sure he's drawing valid inferences/conclusions. LEGO elements (...) (13 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)
