It’s not surprising at all.

Wright is said to have claimed if the roof doesn’t leak it isn’t daring enough.

I think that such a bon mote was his way of ignoring his very real limitations.

Fay Jones, influenced and perhaps an understudy of Wright, has no leaking houses or buildings in his portfolio and was certainly daring.
