Tangential: There might be a perfectly good explanation for why something was designed the way it was, but that doesn't mean that it should stay like that in retrospect. On a daily basis I encounter code written by people who have skills in one area and are trying to solve that problem within the context of another area they do not have skills in. These people will make poor decisions which are intended to solve problems I can easily imagine but which should have been solved a wholly different way.
