If "glass is too fragile to be Homogeneous in GURPS terms", then there arises a new problem: Where's the borderline between "Doesn't deserve Homogeneous because of its basic fragility" and "Not fragile enough to be deprived of Homogenous"? Are 2-gallon glass bottles Homogenous or not? How about 58-cubic-inch wodden boxes? (Both on p. 34 of Low-Tech.)
