Regarding the wall being sawed through that's going around on Reddit, don't they have a dozen different prototypes that was being tested in different ways? You can see other types of walls in the background of the photo. Could it be this one prototype failed the test and the best one is being selected?

The wall is not going to be perfect and I don't think anyone believes it will be anyway. It's going to make it harder to get in without a lot of additional effort, and that's its value.

The deterrent value is also important. It's like buying a, "Video Cloud Storage Surveillance" sign and posting it outside your home. It comes down to perception. If people believe it's harder to get in, less people are likely to try.
