Ha, I love it when people make dumb excuses for awful decisions like that. /s

I much prefer colleagues who can say, woah that was dumb thanks for informing me of a better way. Making excuses doesn't help anyone unless one has a valid logical reason they did a certain thing, otherwise I DONT WANNA HEAR IT.

The people who write the API and the people who are tasked to provide support for it are usually not the same. If these are APIs between internal business units, my condolences, no excuse.
