It is subtly different for me - the stated object was to make something. At the end, the 'something' was ttoally wasted.

That ain't right.

When the Myth Busters wanted to find out if explosives could get hardened cement out of a concrete truck, & they blew the truck into pieces the size of a quarter - that was cool. They had a goal, & they acheived it. Spectacularly.

They did not waste time fixing the truck, only to blow it up. The set about trying to blow it up.

Cool.

With this tractor & wheat stomper, they said the goal was to make a wheat stomper.

But there was no pay-off. Intead, they flame-threw the tractor & barrels. They did not achieve their goal.

If they had set out to burn up a tractor, well that can be cool. Show me where the charges were placed in the barrels, show me where the accelerants were added, etc. Burn it up, & then you educate me & acheive the goal & all is cool.

Bu to pretend to build a project, & then just mess it up at the end - no point to that.

They totally failed, in my mind. That is what I take away from the show.
