Of course it's nice to minimise the parts count, but that's not the only 
thing you should pay attention to. Most 82-year-olds are unemployable - 
some of them because they are dead or close to it. I used to build quite 
a lot of what I simulated, but it would be more of a performance these days.

Not exactly. It certainly didn't include you or Cursitor Doom.
