Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've lost my triangle again.
Were the vertices all meeting?
Do the stencil ops need tweaking?
Did the whole thing,
Get removed by a backface cull?
Or was it null?
Oh no it's just behind us.

@aeva Software is very mailable and the possible solution space for a problem is larger than other engineering professions. Combine this with smart and bored programmers and you get a tendency to reinvent the wheel.
