That is based on the assumption that consistency is necessary
or desireable :) Of course, it is dear to an engineer's mind,
but the case from the sociological point of view is far from
clear-cut. In fact, way too many woes of human societies can
be (at least indirectly) attributed to the misguided attempts
to enforce consistency.
