After all, the bending of grass blades is how all those designs get made in lawns and so forth.

You're telling me that mowing the lawn doesn't break or cut grass?

Sorry, but in all of the man-made creations the crops are broken. In the authentic ones, none are broken or damaged..

"You're telling me that mowing the lawn doesn't break or cut grass?"

No, I'm not telling you that. What I am telling you is that, by mowing in different patterns and directions, the remaining (uncut portion) of grass blades are bent to make designs. (I guess I presumed too much in thinking you'd understand that.) You may CLAIM the crops are broken in all man made creations, but it would be absurd for me to just buy into that. I have personal experience that proves to me that crops can be bent pretty easily without breaking.
