and what of loose coupling? p/ex, shelves that, by virtue of an inner integrity call attention to the gappiness (ruggedness?) of the shelf-alcove interface without trying to change it — and in this way help us make peace with the fact that someday this arrangement (shelves, alcove) will change …
in this case also trying to minimize material by using the alcove for transmitting vertical load, so that kind of loose coupling would eventually be disastrous. why not make an already annoying problem even more annoying?
