If you give someone paper and a pencil and ask them, "Please draw a diamond shape."

Most will draw a 4 sided shape with 4 equal sides.

People would definitely want to elongate the top and bottom sides because they do not want to draw a sideways square, which is a rhombus, parallelogram, diamond too.

There's no way a human is going to draw 4 equal lines

No one at the end is going to be like "yeah but you have to be sure all sides are equal" when they have some kind of weird kite shape.

There's people out there that wouldn't count a sideways square as a diamond
