Surely that's just your opinion about the matter, right?

Do you really believe it necessary to apologize for every opinion
stated on USENET with "IMHO"?

That is always the crux.  The OP has not weighed back in on the issue,
but most of us are making an assumption that seems very different from
what you're assuming.

You seem to be assuming that only the initial ratio is important.  If
that's the case, then a technique like mine or yours is fine; the choice
might depend on whether one wants a mutable or immutable object, although
I didn't go as far as demonstrating actual immutable versions.

Most everyone seems to assume that the continued 2:1 ratio of 
height:width is essential.  If that's the case, then your technique 
fails, and allows one to get objects into an inconsistent state.  
That, to my mind, is significantly worse than throwing an error.

Probably the reason that most people seem to be making the latter 
assumption is that the OP specifically mentioned your technique, but
was looking for something better, and asked, "How do I reference to
the object itself within the object?"  Your code does not answer this
question.
