Depends then, on whether or not one is just interested in getting something done to a 
particular standard, or in fraternizing with interesting people. Actions speak 
loudest, in this regard. 

I have built plenty of houses that took a year and a half to build, full of crafty 
work. The projects were full of roosters that spent half the time working and half the 
time displaying their fine feathers. That type of work seems to attract them. Which 
doesn't make the work within more valuable, just more non-standard, which is usually 
the owner's primary goal. This may or may not relate to the topic at hand. 

My current customers only care about results. Unique or difficult for the sake of 
interest is simply not a goal.
