I think you have to keep in mind that you were discussing this with a
usability person, and not a developer. It's the job of usability folks
to come up with pie-in-the-sky ideas for creating simple, consistent
UIs. We developers, in turn have the job of explaining the real world,
technical complexities that conflict with those ideas. In theory, the
some kind of compromise should be reached and KDE should be better off
because of it.

But you can't really expect someone doing purely usability work to
play on both sides. Hence the need for a simple explanation instead of
hints.
