Not paying attention, that's all. Here is a proof for you:

realism.

Right on, brother.

I don't worry about piece counts, or difficulty to build, or price
points.

Oh, and Dan Siskind (who is also a better designer than TLC... for adults)

Lego would probably never use one of my models as a "set", because
they would be too expensive to produce, and probably too complicated for the
average kid to build.  Lego has to worry about all these things when they
design sets.  I have a friend who worked for Futura designing some of the
Technic, Space, and Star Wars sets.  He tells a story about one of his
SnowSpeeder prototypes not being approved because it came out to 2 *cents*
over the 'cost to produce' they were looking for...

Well, you just proved #1, not that it needed proving. :-)
