I would say that the rationale was not “invented”, but rather adapted |

to an evolving system. |

I am surprised that anyone took that rant seriously. It is just a |
| 13 |
rant, ignoring evolution of systems (where initially arbitrary |
| 14 |
configuration changes and gets meaning with time), and treating |
| 15 |
developers who have to deal with backwards compatibility issues and |
| 16 |
established usage conventions as thick bureaucrats. |
