But doesn't that lead to spherical cows getting strewn across the landscape? And they're useless as livestock due to the complexity involved with figuring out how to optimally stack them in the cow barn (plus it's impossible to milk their perfectly smooth udders).

I think it's safe to assume that a Dyson sphere is a sphere without worrying about it being a slippery slope to spherical cows.

On the other hand, I now have the reverse image of a giant cow showing up on galaxy's doorstep, and after it's brought in it starts firing off Nicoll-Dyson laser blasts while a quintillion Trojans pour out and proceed to ransack the galaxy.
