I couldn't agree more with Chris.
The supposedly 'elegance' of a folding sequence will ultimately depend
on the folder and the way he or she executes it.
Some people, particularly those on the wrong side of age and physical
ability, whose approach and execution in origami can seem quite clunky,
although the finished product is quite the opposite.
