There is more than one way to skin a cat and I think the little boy was a much more elegant design

You may think that but you’re wrong. Little Boy was crude and inefficient - and the design was never used again after an implosion style device was shown to work.

I think the Little Boy Bomb was a more elegant design because it had greater tolerances for errors and was likely to work even if you don't meet exacting design tolerances. Exactly the type of engineering needed for the first fusion reactors where they don't know what the hell they're doing yet.

Perfect is the enemy of done.
