    You've got a point there!

    I don't know how many times I've looked at and felt the keel of a new design where I have been responsible for the design of the appendages, and thought to myself "Oh - why bother?"
    If the keel looks like it's been built using just a sledgehammer, then it doesn't really matter what section the designer has chosen. :(
