I'm criticizing the justification, not the design. (Hence OT.)

What I'm saying is that there is no way that lack of 
orthogonality/consistency can be an argument in favour of the design.

The arguments in favour of the design (that I can see) are that it is 
simple, easy to explain, easy to implement, easy to ignore, that it 
works around the problem, and that it is your own.
