Honestly (albeit sadly), the general public neither knows nor cares about sundial accuracy or horological design. While it would be wonderful to educate the world, it's probably a lost cause! It might be interesting to see just what kind of a manufacturing and marketing deal they would offer to designers of *real* sundials. Just keep in mind that art supercedes accuracy...
