Notice this makes the end of a Best-Lock brick 5/16" square, the same as a
one-stud surface grid. If they had holes on the ends, that would make for
some interesting possibilities... except I can't get excited about the
colors, their gripping strength, or anything else about them.
I think at one point Best-Lock asked themselves, how can we differentiate
our clone brick? And the answer was, let's make it square-ended, with a 1/2
unit plate. Or, perhaps, they based their brick on the much much older toy
standards which Lego broke away from (integer ratios.)
