That wood was not usable for building materials, it wasn't up to code for use. They specifically used that wood, because it would have been destroyed either way.

But I agree that the expansion of the positive aspects of BMan into the "outside" world is a good thing.

And I do also agree that some things shouldn't be destroyed, but I think if the sentiments moved over to "art shouldn't be burned" we would find a change in the kind of art people bring. The art people bring to BMan with the intention of destroying it, is often art that takes real chances. Its silly sometimes, doesn't make sense, or just isn't done "well enough" for the artist. But if many things are ritualistically destroyed, seems to me that people will take bigger chances with what they bring. I don't want to see most BMan art coming home with people, because I feel like that makes it "serious" art, and I think the coolest ideas wouldn't be done, since often the coolest ideas have the highest chance of failure. With the failure (destruction) built into the system, artists can reach more.
