IIRC...
In the previous thread that discussed this (when it was just a Fast Company
article instead of a slashdotted phenom) it was stated by someone that it
wasn't designed in a day, it was approved in a day because someone (Brad?)
walking around spotted a MOC on a designer's workstation and said "that's
our Father's Day set... produce it!" (or words to that effect).
Inadmissable as evidence because it's hearsay about hearsay.... but *noone*
can produce a production ready model in a *day*. Not even me.
