*Shiny turned her attention toward the Changeling who asked her the question and she began to explain to them, with more details, her solution to the problem.*
"This is the point, my dear friend. Let me compare this situation to one where all of you would have to agree on which pizza you would all eat for diner. You can only choose one sort of pizza for all the Hive. It would be an enormous pizza and you Changelings don't really need to eat food but let's get over those two facts to focus on the main problem."
"The main problem is that 50% of the Changelings want a cheese pizza and the other 50% want a vegetarian pizza. What you're currently trying to do is choosing one of those two pizzas, even if it means that only half of the Hive will be satisfied with it, since you don't know what else to do."
"But fear not, I have a solution that will satisfy a good 90% of the Changelings. Have you considered having a pizza that is half cheese and half vegetarian? This is actually what we call a compromise and it's the best way to find a solution that will make everypony happy. You see, you don't need the entirety of the Hive to be to a fraction of the Changelings' liking. You can do the opposite, make a fraction of the Hive to some's likings and do another fraction of the Hive to some others' liking. It doesn't have to be just one design for the whole Hive, it can be many designs coexisting within it."
"Have you visited Ponyville recently? If you did, you might have noticed that not everything possesses the same architecture. To name only a few, Fluttershy's cottage, Rarity's dress shop, the huge crystal-made castle of Princess Twilight, etc. None of them ressemble each others but is Ponyville ugly? No, it's beautiful, even if it's not one design for everything."
