I’ll save folks some reading: they’re comparing a very thick straight wall with a much thinner wavy wall.

  The primary point is that you can't make an equivalently thin straight wall due to natural (wind and gravity, primarily) forces. Kinda weird to summarize it without the crux of why.

    > Kinda weird to summarize it without the crux of why. I agree, the headline did a very poor job of summarizing.

      Yet, you did an even worse job expounding.

        Nope. "Wavy walls use fewer bricks than a straight wall" is so misleading it may as well be a lie. Enjoy your day.

          Yeah yeah, we got it. You're ignorant and stubborn.

            Hah, what a strange thing to attack someone over. I’m not sure who “we” is, but I hope you can all move on from this.
