Is the source/a paper/a blog post going to be released so that we can look at (read: poke holes in) it?

It's not like there's a "right" or "wrong" answer. It's more art than code, and what really matters is the final result.
i completely agree. i didn't mean that it would in any way be wrong, i am just really interested in how they did it, and wanted to look at the source.

yet another example of a need for a sarcasm punctuation mark.

Why would you add the parenthetical statement "read: poke holes in" if you were "really interested in how they did it"? Not only does it not really make sense (how do you "poke holes" in art?), it makes you sound like a dick.
Why is poking holes automatically negative?
