It was the unforeseeable way things fit together that really made the story so damned clever. (Well, that and Adams's careful honing of language, most of which was changed in the script by someone with the same notions of subtlety as a hammer-wielding three-year-old.)
A three-year-old is actually capable of a little more subtlety wielding a hammer than a 19-month-old.
Just sayin'.
(Also, a 3-year-old is better at running around carrying a dustpan without tripping every 3 minutes, but that doesn't have much to do with subtlety.)
