If you gave 10 people the challenge of modeling the TIE cockpit
piece, I guarantee you would get 10 different .dat files.  In any
complex part, you must make artistic judgement about where to skip
details, where and how to use primitives, where exactly two faces
intersect, etc.

I'll agree with you.  There is definitively a creative process going on
when modeling brick, possibly except for the very simplest ones.

Consider the wide variety of CAD files derived from a single brick:
Ldraw, Blockcad, Leocad, LEGO Creator, L3GO.

Yes, but these differences reflect the format, not the author, don't
they?
