If it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid. Gas town transcends stupid. It is an abstract garbage generator. Call it art, call it an experiment, but you cannot call it a solution to a problem by any definition of the word.

"If it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid" is a maxim that only applies to luxury use cases where the results fundamentally don't matter.

As soon as the results actually matter, the maxim becomes "if it works, but it's stupid, it doesn't work".

    I just got some medication yesterday where the leaflet included the following phrase: "the exact mechanism of efficacy is unknown."

    So apparently the medical field is not above this logic.
