You're very right in that, indeed.  They are multi-faceted gems, 
beautiful to look at from various different angles.

I think it's still worth mentioning though, for no other reason than to 
dismiss the idea that Brad Genius Bird came up with all these ideas by 
himself.  But it doesn't matter:  wikipedia is a revisionists dream, 
since it only points to official positions from official mouths.
