Default More misteries

Hi coanda,

<sometimes it spits back errors related to the fact that the operation only works with solids (when I mainly use extruded surfaces)>

Why the hell do booleans work (though imperfectly) with extruded surfaces too, at least on my office computer???
I haven't dreamt of it, I just checked a few minutes ago: extruded surface [do not remove original - cap end]; cube off-the-shelf; boolean subtract [surface - cube]; result: impeccable (!)
Second try: other extruded and capped surface subtracted from previous result; outcome acceptable if not perfect (just one misplaced vertex).

What do you think, shall I start looking for a three-legged table?

Cheers
