The latter option would have made finish work difficult and would also have required significant labor and materials. There is apparently little direct evidence of either one of these options. So after centuries of thinking about it someone strikes on an idea that is simple and yet so obvious. These sots of gestalts are hard to explain. Where do they come from?

What do you mean by gestalt? You mean epiphany?
