I think we will always differ, because we use different meanings of "invalid".
You are holding, quite rightly, to the objective standard of the accounting
equation. For this reason, beancount is right in its philosophical grounding
to take this stand.

I hold, however, to whatever the user deems to be useful. I have no objective
standard to claim, and my philosophy allows a hammer to be used on things very
different from nails.

The user must decide what best meets their needs.
