Symmetry is not considered a logical solve on this site. It will not work on any puzzle that does not have a unique solution, and that is not guaranteed on this site.

Even when there is a unique solution, we do not have a proof that it will always work, only empirical evidence.
Plus it's boring.

The explanation of the logical solve for this puzzle is not for people like you who don't want to hear them. It is for people who would like to extend their logical thinking skills

Here you are chastising me for imposing "my way" of solving on you (when in fact I don't care at all how you solve it), and then you end by saying that your way is clearly superior. C'mon.

I didn't say it was superior. Don't put words in my mouth. But it IS way more efficient for quickly getting past an easy to solve, and generally boring, symmetrical puzzle so as to have more time to enjoy those that require it, or that will produce more interesting pictures.
