So, while I do understand the theoretical merits of the point Chris has made I really can't see that it caused me any problem in practice.


One of the practical problems that does affect you is that AppleScript and Standard Additions are less likely to be improved because of the risk of breaking scripts.

The clearer your scripts are about intent and the fewer unnecessary dependencies they have, the more likely it is we'll be able to improve AppleScript for you without breaking your scripts.
