Some very interesting points. I would like to say that the hardware is a bit of a mess as well. There are weird redundant bits of legacy hardware that aren't required any more, but nobody's bothered to remove them from the system (appendix, wisdom teeth). There are oddly paired systems (genitals combine waste removal with reproduction; the nose combines air filtering with scent detection; the mouth combines food intake and air intake/outlet). And oddly co-dependent systems (lose your sense of smell and your sense of taste takes a significant hit).
