The first time you try to clean your channels with a scrub brush, you will
be glad that you have hex tiles to prevent you from falling into lazy

Also, by having separate little tiles that are not attached to form a mat,
you get to exercise  your skills in molding them into the tool.

I heard that there is additional info on this at
