Can the wood beams be seen in the cathedral? Do visitors ever tour the roof area? I'm trying to understand why it is so important to rebuild it exactly like the original, the benefits of this besides being faithful to the historical structure. Wouldn't it make more sense to innovate and make a new roof that would offer potential features to the cathedral?
Anyway I thought this part was funny

Sounds more like a condescending way to avoid addressing the topic to me, personally. But that's just my opinion.
