Ahha..... Yup, that's exactly what I was wondering, whether Nurbs are more
inherently capable.
But faster? Hmmmm... I'm thinking that it probably depends upon (1) what
one learns first and, perhaps more importantly, (2) one's way of looking
at/conceptualizing spatial information.
Whcih IMO would make for an interesting psychological/brain study, such as
the CAT-scan studies done while people are looking at words versus
non-words and recognized/familiar faces versus unknown ones. ((Same, i
theorize, goes for GUI preferences.))

Oh! Now that'd be interesting.
THanks for your input :)
