The more reinforcement, the more stable the tower.
You had to reinforce the Lego bricks to give the tower more stability. With age comes wisdom and you realize that if you wanted to stack that Lego tower as high as possible, you simply could not just stack the pieces as individual pieces. Admit it, as a kid you took a stack of Legos and stacked them as high as you could - only to see the tower as it got higher lean over and topple.
