Seriously... I've seen this behavior also, but I haven't ever thought about it as clearly as Fredrik does here. When we go to answer questions we ought to pause briefly first and decide which of these categories applies to a given piece of behavior. I think users will be understanding if we're honest about what are the accidents -- every language or software package has some, and just because it's an accident does NOT mean we should "fix" it.

But we do that (atleast I do): when I believe something is wrong, I don't argue it is right; instead, I ask for a contribution of fixes. I do argue it is right when I believe it is right.
