A belief that format or form-factor is the primary determinant of performance, efficacy, and other traits and that format or form-factor differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular format or form-factor.

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
