To me, this speaks of the difference between artists and craftsmen. Artists attempt to create the ideal, something that is perfect and that people can stare at for hours just appreciating every nuance. Craftsmen create things to be used, and it is in their use that they derive joy, even if the same said use eventually destroys the creation.

They got thrown in the landfill when they were running on all 4 legs. The song "Jed the Humanoid" (by Grandaddy) captures my attitude pretty well.
