It's not inconsistent; it's just a programming language ;)
`"newStellarField" : "not"` is invalid because `not` is a reserved word. If
you want the string literal, it'd be `"newStellarField" : "'not'"` which should
resolve fine. I'd agree that a section about reserved words in the
metron-common readme section for stellar could be useful.
