I think I agree with these points but I have a question. What is "consistency" in this case? The article only says, > Consistency can be sacrificed for simplicity or performance. Don’t let excessive consistency get in the way of getting stuff done. I take consistency to mean consistency of results being correct. Wouldn't that make consistency a subset of correctness?

Pony is a programming language, so I take consistency to be about how consistent the pony programming language feels to the user (principle of least surprise, etc.). That said, I'm not part of the pony core team; if you really want an answer, you could stop by #ponylang on irc and ask.
