If a seq is a sequential view of a thing, and a set is an unordered thing, then
it does not seem shocking to me that multiple sequential views of a given set,
with different orderings, are possible.

This may not be the only way to do things; and it may not be the way other
languages do it; and it may not match your preference. But I think it's clearly
wrong to say that it's internally inconsistent or "broken".

It's perhaps hard to say this without sounding condescending, but rather than
seeking to identify all the ways in which Clojure isn't Haskell, it might be
more useful to pursue an understanding of Clojure (including its
definitely-not-nonexistent flaws!) on its own terms.
