1. Meshes are for wimps.
   Always use mathematically defined surfaces and CSG. In an emergency,
use blobs.

2. Entering numbers such as 3.14159 or  1.4142 is evil.
   Use a mathematical function so you get the full precision of your
numerical processor.

3. Never #declare an object and use it multiple times.
   Use a #macro to create each object so they can all be slightly
different.

P.S. I'm guilty of all of the above, PoD.
