Why accept something that is less than it can be? If people were willing to belive that something can't be improved, then we would still be driving Ford Model "T"s. A designer has to try and find a better way to do whatever the job is. The KR wing attachment is not an optimal design. It was copied directly for another, older, design and no thought was given to making it better.
