I accept your point when it applies to some extreme examples of this, and I too
sometimes find myself questioning the relevance of certain official lego models,
but I do not see that this can be applied globally. Many of these parts (half beams
etc) do satisfy a gap in the Technic range that really needed addressing; as a
Technic fan back in early Eighties I frequently found myself wishing for such
elements!
So while I agree that overuse of those items can sometimes lead to odd looking
creations - not that this is always a bad thing - I think integration of them with
the standard beams can lead to better results than standard beams alone. It did
take me a few months to get my head round the idea of using them though, I have to
admit!
For the record, I think the C3PO is not too bad at all :-)
