More than that, it makes the story about the lazy kind of symmetry, copying pixels around, instead of joy,— the joy of architectural symmetry being broken by shadows falling from the sun: the inflection of symmetry by the inexorable forces of nature. Of course, raw accuracy is not the goal of art. Telling a story is. Artforms have their own language, techniques, and craftsmanship that frame the art more than accuracy. And usually it is pretty clear when certain kinds of accuracy get in the way of telling your story. But on the whole? Being accurate contributes to a work of art's feeling whole, feeling satisfying. It makes it not just compelling but persuasive. It reflects pride in our work and why we do it.
