My interpretation of what you wrote.  I took "I don't think the
addition ... would be a good thing" to mean "I don't think the
addition ... would be an improvement" and applied the logic "If X is
an abomination and X+Y would not be an improvement, then X+Y is also
an abomination."  If I missed badly, I apologize.
