Hi,
<br>
<br>Geometry is eternal.
<br>
<br>And life is not about marks.
<br>
<br>If you want your people to build ships,
<br>you are not about to draw detailed plans,
<br>but you have to tell them about the seas,
<br>the remote beaches and the sunset at an island.
<br>
<br>Standardized ships is a different topic, of course :-)
<br>
<br>just my two cent
