Re-read the wall of text you deleted, then think again about this suggestion.
If you still don't see how this suggestion is a short-circuit to
ground for objections, I've written a bit more colorfully on the
subject on my general blog, maybe you would care to re-read that as
well.
There's something in this question that is actually entangled in the
difference between declarative and procedural programming, but I can't
really talk with you about it until you start digging in to one or the
other.
