Would we not rather skip over many-storied houses for a change, or on encountering the monument take a flying jump, rather than trouble to walk round it?

One reason is to avoid confusion or semi-forgery. I'm not especially worried that someone will take over my identity in this way, but there's no reason to invite trouble.

So yeah, if you’re having trouble, go take a walk, or find some new materials, but don’t linger over what it all means. Start playing.
