    Perhaps you've heard of Blaine Lewis' video "The Art of Setting
    Princess Cuts..."? In said video, you will find overwhelming
    evidence to counter your claim that setting a Princess cut into
    straight prongs is incorrect. For example, in the video, Blaine
    actually cuts off two prongs (of an"incorrectly set stone") with a
    separating disc and yet the stone does not fall out. It's anchored
    into the two remaining prongs because the bearings and ball pockets
    were prepared "correctly" Even forcibly trying to push the stone out
    of the remaining prongs is virtually impossible. It may be different
    than tradition, but that doesn't make it wrong.
