"better is different is worse" is neither valid nor invalid. It can be whichever the person saying it wants.<p>I say don't worry about the orthodoxy of your stuff, only the function of your stuff.<p>If it meets your priorities better than the usual way, then by definition it was more correct than the usual way. It just means your priorities were different than others, but that is fine. Other peolple are idiots who don't even know why they do what they do. As long as you know why you do something a certain way, that's all that matters.
