it's one of the classic lessons of 90s level design: if a space feels weird, you can probably get away with it if you add a bunch of columns and supports to "justify" it

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.
