Are you still dressed like this?

Then why does your bed still look like this?

18th century bed

Look, I get the idea. Lawns are bad. But, the argument is a stupid one. Just because things haven't changed in a few centuries doesn't mean they necessarily should change. Beds are essentially the same design as hundreds of years ago because that design works. Why are lawns necessarily different than beds?

Lawns were easily maintained by the livestock that simply ate the grass. What we are doing now is a facimile of that by wasting energy to pretend sheep live nearby.

Do you have livestock? By all means have a lawn, it makes sense!

I don't care about lawns, what I care about is the bad argument claiming that just because things were done a certain way 300 years ago means that they're necessarily bad.
