This is quite an interesting point, and perhaps another explanation for
the proliferation of POOPs. If you've already used a black 2x4, and you
need a stack of yellow ones, make the yellow stack into a different
part.
Dunno if this stacks up (!) in practice, as I don't own any of these
sets. Nice theory, though.
