Default The size of the harvesting - seeding tools should not interfere with playing the game

It is not complicated; a good solution has been found; people use ice buckets and pick as many ice cubes as they want to put in their drinks.

Donut shops do not find such approaches complicated; if they did there would be only one flavor. Not good for business if they cannot offer variety.

Yes we agree that the size of the harvesting - seeding tools is a matter of personal preference; this preference is the result of what fits each person's viewing perceptions.

The flavor of the donuts a person buys has to fit that particular person's taste.

No, you are jumping to conclusions regarding what is essential or not.
We do not agree on this one,
because the size of the tools is essential to playing the game in "the proper way" without obstructions.
The size that results in obstruction or is perceived as "wrong" is not the same among individuals.

Would you say that the flavor of the donut (pie, you name it) does not matter in how much you enjoy it?

In a world where people jump to conclusions regarding what is essential or not, regarding the usefulness, utility, desirability, level of pleasure - satisfaction derived by the products or services, no-one would ever manufacture ergonomic chairs or adjustable drivers seats.

In such a world, all PC monitors would be the same size - or there would be limited size options; likewise for TV sets.


Not everyone is sensitive to these issues, that is why professional designers are employed by manufacturing firms.

You can find books on the subject if you care to pursue it further.
