The argument of "build dollhouses instead of rockets" more or less has the problem of rockets being rather impressive feats of engineering and somewhat easy to understand the basics of. A dollhouse is kind of uncomplicated in contrast, we have had houses and such for centuries. Also I don't feel like that hair is a feat of engineering, but that's in the eye of the engineer here.
Perhaps I missed the point. I also will note, I am kind of a girl (I was born a boy).
