That's a great elaboration, very accurate, and funny! But in reality that table would always get fixed, the only reason such absurdities will remain in IT systems, is because it's not immediately visible.
I disagree completely - most people know about the problems and they've accepted them instead of tried to gin up the organization effort to fix it, because the last time they tried that they either became responsible for the cleanup or got smacked down by someone who should have been but got it wrong.
