Added a paragraph break (to an already-bumped question).

I also think the question has a few places that approach (but by no means surpass) the "argumentative/subjective" threshold. In any case, don't take my comment too strongly --- aesthetics is certainly one of the driving forces in n-category theory, and perhaps in all of mathematics. | |
| Jan 29, 2013 at 14:39 | comment | added | Rachel | OK thanks, i think I'm starting to get the hang of it...if I had deleted the first 3 words and just asked "What are the relative advantages..." then it would have been OK, and following with, "Why is it that since n-fold categories are deemed to be more efficient, more work seems to have been done on n-categories?" | |
