Reminds me of a thing my dad quoted about the problem with Newtonian Notation. AKA dot notation or fly spec notion. Because with it a fly can do differential math. As a result people use different notation usually.
That said redundancy allows for both readability by humans and better resync by parsers when there are errors. And it's easier to code gen and auto refactor code.
