Well, tbf the article doesn’t even try to explain how wavy walls are stronger than straight ones, or how fewer bricks are needed.



It doesn't need to, a child understands this. The only thing the article needed to explain was how the title should be interpreted, and it did fine in this respect.


If any child supposedly understands this, why does HN consider this novel? The questions in this post also don’t support your comment.

There’s also no need to be impolite. If it’s such an easy concept that you actually already understand, maybe explain it in layman terms instead?
