I don't accept this attitude
Every language makes sense. Every language is born out of necessity and people wouldn't be saying things the way they say them without reason. It might not be obvious, it might have made sense so long ago people have forgotten why, but it is there. I ask these questions about every language, and so far I have always found the answer, sooner or later.
There are things I have no problems accepting, and then there are things I do... in this case it was the explanation that didn't make any sense, and that was because it was total hogwash, so it's good I asked the question.
Also, it's not so that I hang myself on one specific. I did learn 90 as it was without it making sense, the "finding the reasoning behind it" goes on separate from the learning process, in a way. (Though it helped me learn но)
