If you find enough numbers to divide, you will eventually come up with two that form an interesting ratio. This is especially true if you are willing fudge it a bit. Sometimes there is such a thing as coincidence. If it is interesting the ratio of blade to loom is an approximation of the Golden ratio, it should be equally interesting that the ratio of blade width to length is no ratio of any particular note. But, for some reason, it is only the ratios that work out to something almost interesting that appear to be interesting.
