That's one heck of a reply, but I think you misunderstood what Thorsten was
implying. He was talking about building a sphere using meshes not building
meshes out of spheres (though that is very interesting and you gave quite a
thorough answer)

BTW to Thorsten: I think the original reference to building a sphere out of
meshes was just a simple analogy, not meant to be taken literally but meant
to be extended to more complex objects.
