And thank goodness it didn't. It's very useful to be able to embed them
in buildings, etc., but they would no longer be "invisible" if they had the
bottom edge filleted like modern tiles. I wonder if the corporate model
builders have any say in such things? The more likely/mundane reason that
the 1x2s with center stud don't have the fillet is that they do, after all,
have a stud on top that makes them easier to remove than pure tiles.
