Uh? That's a quite different statement. I do think it's good that languages are somewhat consistent. And if on language A + is the addition operand, it doesn't become the division one on a different one, or that you don't write 'if' to produce a loop. I think that's what is being termed as counterintuitive here. If every languages would have to be the same as every other, then they wouldn't be different ones.
