   (...) I'll continue to disagree, and I'll happily take those classic space printed 1x6x5 bricks off the hands of anyone who feels POOPs should never exist.

      Stop fighting! You're both right. (...) That statement is too strongly worded. I can come up with a justification for the existance of any part you care to name, and an example of a model that would be weaker if it had to use the composite parts (...)

       (...) You're talking about the part in this view: (URL) a 1988 (!!!) Technic (!!!) set, right? If that's the best part you can come up with, perhaps it's the exception that proves the rule.

      (...) Surely, if the propeller had been connected to an axle in the normal way, it could have slipped off during play and hit a child in the eye.

      (...) That may well have been TLC's justification, however I don't buy it.

   [removed .dear-lego from crosspost list on this reply] (...) The original example for a "POOP" (_P_ieces _O_utta _O_ther _P_ieces) back on RTL was a 1x1x5 tall brick, but IMHO, a BURP would also be an excellent example of a POOP. Naturally, it's (...)

Part of my point on BURPs wasn't that in many instances they are effectively POOPs but that there are models which take advantage of their hollowness. Probably such a use wasn't (...)
