This is a prime example of the Amiga mentality in this issue. 

IF there are two ways to solve a problem (damage repair in windows) -- and
there are reason do do it both ways (speed/simplicity vs memory) ..

The Mac chooses one and the OS forces you to live with it.  (notice I am not
commenting about the actual argument between the choices) ..

The Amiga gives you the option to pick the one best for the occasion and
will operate with either without breaking rules.
