Same can be said for every other attribute, let's get rid of all 
of them!

No of course not. We use attribute not because we can't write 
that code without them, but because we want the compiler to check 
if something doesn't unexpectedly find its way in.

With changing requirements and changing authors, it is easy for 
almost all of your assumptions and conventions to break. Having 
an attribute is so much better than having to write a comment 
and/or needing to be extra vigilant at code review time.
