You're going to have to eat a second apple now.

[TWO WHOLE APPLES!! not even whole. Truly, Dirk is a tough task-master.]

Okay. I figured that instead of insisting that things would be okay, I should try to actually understand the reasoning you were going with.

[No obligation, no forcing hands, no insistence that anyone has to be hurt. Just Dirk trying to figure things out for himself.]

A tower's inherent flaw in terms of privacy is that it replicates vertically the lack of division in spaces commonplace in pre-nineteenth century Western homes. Movement from one room to another requires going through other rooms, ensuring that any space is at risk of invasion if any other person inhabits or visits the tower. The segmentation of homes through the use of hallways facilitated the development of enclosure and the concept of privacy in the home in a way that would be difficult to implement with the tower's structure.

[why did you ask what his thoughts were]
