Symmetry is evil, and I submit as evidence the haircuts of people who part their hair right down the middle. As a society, we have this misguided notion that symmetry is aesthetically pleasing, that what is on one side must be balanced on the other."

> My pleasure, Sam. I suppose I've had a like number of reactions to your previous "I Think's" but never had cause to comment on them directly.
