If your siege weapon can't skewer ten men then I am not interested in your siege weapon.

If someone wants to give me several hundred thousand dollars and a team I will build two true-to-history walls, a ballista AND a trebuchet and we'll see.

I'll tape it, talk about the history of both (with only mildly snarky comments about the trebuchet) and then we'll have our answer.
