Inconsistent = Ugly

• dllthomas 11y ago
  While there are certainly ugly inconsistencies, I disagree that this holds as a rule. This kind of inconsistency - sensitivity of a surface feature to some other attributes of the situation - has the effect of increasing the redundancy of the encoding. Redundancy can (it doesn't always!) help with comprehension and correctness; individual instances should be evaluated on their merits.
