Normally I would take offense to that sort of thing, but having looked at it a couple times I have to agree with you. For me I enjoy making a track that challenges everybody. I want to design tracks where elements are used in ways that make people say, "I haven't seen it used THAT way before. This is really challenging." But in this hobby you sometimes have to sacrifice challenge for realism (in the sense that the track can actually be replicated in real life).
