Once they really start to learn, they realize that the cloth isn't just a rumpled tarp in a garage, but that it follows the shape of the human form. Draped cloth seems like a great alternative because it hides all that pesky anatomy behind something that's vague and formless. Yeah, the reason for the flip is that new artists aren't used to drawing the human form, and feel like they're not capable of doing a good job. In this set, any gaps left by the inconsistency of angles in pieces used to cover up the internal Technic armature can conveniently be excused by the worn appearance of the statue. The rather large Slope is also impossible to match with other System elements from the wedge brick and wedge plate families.
Because three beams are hard to connect directly to each other, those triangles usually end up as trapezoids which are used in this set to roughly match the slope’s angle.
Technic on the other hand works best within the Pythagorean triple so that it can connect to other structures in the “grid” with right angles, and form a sturdy construction. More likely than not, it will not form a Pythagorean triple. In this particular example, it connects a length of 4 studs and a height of 6 studs (minus 2mm bottom chamfer) and the angle is whatever comes out of that. If you are wondering why System slopes are not designed to perfectly match Technic beam angles, this is because System slopes are just basic reductors for LEGO units.
