Do you mean his 8wides? I tend to agree, and it wasn't till recently
that I realised it... 8wides make modeling too easy, you get more room
to work in. That's fundamentally what bothers me, he's cheating.
Or do you mean the fact that US proto are larger? In that case I don't
agree... larger whole does not mean larger parts, it means more of them.
There is as much fine detail present in a US proto (that you mostly have
to skip or elide or compress) as there is in a euro proto.
