A hierarchical arrangement is a hierarchical arrangement;
why do you care what the tool to modify it looks like?

The humor is in the evolution of an identical abstract
form, and then the amount of effort that goes into the
editorializing of the shape of the tools to manipulate
data stored in the abstract form.

It's OK though; other people have seen the humor in it,
and it beats the "firewall_enable" discussion.
