I showed one, and remarked that it was mostly an accident. The professor shook his head. "Never, EVER, devalue your work as an accident. Instead you should insist everything was by calculation and design. Why give your critics ammunition?" This strikes a chord with me. As a 13 year old I presented my halving joint
to the woodwork master with a self-deprecating comment. His response 'Never
criticise your own work lad, there are plenty of others who will be pleased to
do it for you'
