You know what the original theory doesn't account for? Bureaucracy and standardization! I am a descendant of the germanic folk. You might even call me... a german.

There was no bureaucracy keeping records of permits, experts checking the stability etc. No nothing. And there was no holy scripture that dictated how to assemble a stable construction, the dimensions of the bricks, the composition of all the materials. We germans cannot build jack without following any sort of standard. We would fall into despair if you told us we can build something however we like to. The Deutsche Industrienorm gives us the guidance we need in our engineering life to construct everything we do.
