A heretic taught by heretics, eh? Like the Nipponese potter's ethic -- they fire their pots with an imperfection, so as not to become too proud of their work. What do the overwhelmingly prideful create that does not fully shatter in the sun? Better a slightly cracked pot.
That's right. A perfect and intricate design with a deliberate flaw, something asymmetrical. As if somone or something might take offense--including the artisan.
