Sure, but in terms of consistency they are 2 sides of the same coin.

There doesn't appear to be any law of physics or higher power that enforces us to make these two things consistent, why would you assume they have to be?

In terms of consistency, time should be able to flow in either direction. But it doesn't, apparently.

Yeah just like rich people are forbidden to sleep under bridges and eat from the garbage, absolutely consistent.
