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.
