Correct. But design which should meet an emotional appeal. The Liberty Dread is accepted because it's what we feel it should look like.
The notion that we'd get used to it in retrospect have some clear contrary cases, such as the example set by the Spyglass, which looks nothing like what we think it should look like and is therefor eyed with distaste.
If the Liberty Dread looked like the Bretonian Battleship we wouldn't accept it. Because it looks nothing like a proto-western vessel of war. If the Liberty Dread had a teagarden sticking on the top deck we would scratch our heads and go lulwhat, though we wont question a totally illogical command deck on the uppermost floor.
