Scale is not unimportant
It's not, but if a sudden change in acceptability happens do to a continuous change in scale, I feel very comfortable asking why.
Itβs an awkward situation for sure. Iβm trying to imagine what could be done with the room if they cleaned it out. All I can think is that they could never convert it into a room that they would want to spend time in, and the only alternative seems to be storage which almost seems disrespectful to the memory.
