> Apart from it being entirely subjective Maybe not entirely. Eye-tracking studies suggest that ornaments are what attracts people's attention.

  People attend to detail whatever its aesthetic value. Look at an eye tracking study of people looking at faces - of course they look at eyes and lips rather than the middle of the cheeks, but if someone had a massive, suppurating boil in the middle of their cheek you can bet that's what people would look at.

    So you're suggesting adding boils to buildings to make them more interesting and less plain?

      Is that really what you think I meant?
