Programming is API's all the way down. Point to an API in the programming language in your shop, and be like, "how productive is it really to start overloading methods in this API to have effects other than they intended?" Because what they're doing is effectively the same.

The verb is the method, the post content and query string are the arguments.

Not only would it be incredibly confusing for newcomers to the system (and there invariably will be), why add to the cognitive load when you can simplify things instead?
