Actually, If they took a 3x3 inside corner and increased it to 4x4 (essentially
by adding a 1x3 slope to each side) it would increase attachable area, and
stabilize the piece. This could also be done with the medium slope (increase
to 3x3 with 1x2 slope area added to each side.)
Of course, If they went and did all of the above, then I'd want inside, outside,
and apex end crossovers (half low slope, half medium slope). ;)
