I agree, actually. And did they honestly need an MIT professor
to say a smooth desk is better as a ring-spinning surface? Anyway, I
would accept ordinary desk treatments -- including sanding, varnish,
and poli****ng -- as ways to improve the surface, but not replacing it
wholesale.
Spraying a layer of Teflon on would be harder to evaluate as
right or wrong, but then it would also have probably been beyond the
show's means. I'm not sure there's even a way to apply Teflon to wood
or plastic impersonating wood.
