(Unless you consider saying "this should be so" or "this is wrong" an argument.) You give nice explanations how things work, but fail to say anywhere why having localhost.localdomain first is so wrong. What breaks? What standards (with reference please) are not honored? What alternative solutions do you propose for the problems that led up to it being included?
