In the case of Poser meshes (and many other meshes) it's in fact the only
way to fill them properly because they often have internal structures that
are likely to interact badly with media (see some older subsurface
scattering tests). Poser heads are very big offenders in that respect as
they have teeth, nostrils, tongues, eyeballs etc.
I once tried to remove the annoying organs by hand in a modeller but it's
not the most fun work in the world... And of course, as Mick says,
turbulence is a real creative bonus.
