What a bizarre objection.

> Modeling is concerned only with attaining the necessary accuracy. Not conforming to a methodology.

Maybe to you. More in general, your claim is simply wrong.

This is actually answered in TFA:

It's ok if you disagree with this because you enjoy your model-making in a different way. The author explained why they chose this path, and it makes sense: a lot of art is about constrains ("don't do digital", "use only 2 colors", "origami without any cuts", etc).
