Nonono! I'm claiming my account is fully anomaly free, and reflects the
basic truths of the universe :-)

Or in other words, they will appear to be anomalous only to those
people who people who do map.put(null, null) and the like. And my
basic point is that catering to them causes not only API complexity
but also conceptual complexity. Which these APIs could use less of,
not more of.
