My friend Larry makes some very good points. "experimental" does not mean do
whatever you feel like. It means apply rigorous research and testing to your
original work so that it is safe and exceeds identifiable standards of
construction. If you are not willing to do that research and testing and defend
your work as worthy, then stick to the proven plans for all our sakes. I love
to
experiment in the true sense of the word to try and prove the applicability
of something new. Without the proof it is worthless. For an example of such
testing and proof look at Langford's work. If you can meet those types of
standards, experiment away and we will all learn from it.
