I am reminded of of Michaelangelo's David, or better yet Pietà. (I like that statue. David is just some dude with his junk hanging out) Image I handed you a chunk of marble and asked you to tell me what was wrong with it. Chances are you would not know much about marble, but let's assume you know a thing or two about it and reply that you can't find anything wrong with it, that it appears to be a piece of high-quality marble. And then I tell you that this chunk of marble came from the Pietà. This piece of fine quality italian marble had be cut off and discarded because to leave it would not be good for the work as a whole.
