Hi!
Of course its predictable. What Greg meant is "error prone". The difference is if we want to by default lower the chance of programming mistakes or ensure maximum performance with little effort for users with autoload (and long include path lists).
I think silent performance disaster is much worse than error message which makes it obvious what the mistake was.
