Only that if you don't like it, don't do it. Having a 
customer's approval to do something you're not comfortable 
with still leaves YOU standing in front of the thing stacking 
on tension.

How did this come to be in the shop when these decisions are 
being made?

Or possibly an afterthought added after the plate pattern was 
made, in an attempt to lessen the incidence of implosion when 
they were chipped up to pitch at the factory. Wouldn't be the 
first time an emergency patch was dressed up as an intentional 
marketing feature after the fact. Best way to hide a mistake 
is to put lights on it, buff it up, and call as much attention 
to it as possible. Everyone will want one.
