      Yes, and then the good stuff is more likely to survive through the ages and be shown off. I think that’s what parent poster meant.

        Modern man will never know if Neolithic humans designed their finest art to be temporary, biodegradable masterpieces and if cave paintings are just their equivalent of someone drawing a dick on a toilet stall wall while they shit.
