Nah man that is incredibly noisy, and counter-productive to what he's attempting to portray: stagnant, nasty water.

I know you artistic sissies thing looking good >> logic, but there's certain cases when that's absolute bull****, and this is one of those cases.

No it's not. If it doesn't look good then it doesn't accomplish the whole point of aesthetics > logic. It just looks bad and disregards logic. My point matters when it looks better BECAUSE it ignores logic.
