Predictability and ease of diagnosis are the principles at work
<URL:http://stackoverflow.com/a/1573715/70157>. You have already
received examples of those.

If those don't convince you of its usefulness, that's unfortunate, but
at this point you are demonstrating a standard which is both
unreasonably high (even the rationale of the committee doesn't convince
you) and unreasonably low (you ask not for explanations but personal
anecdotes).

Good luck to you in your quest.
