Now there's an interesting question.  It goes nicely with some of the
great philosophical questions, eg:

Why is there only one Monopolies Commission?

Why isn't "phonetic" spelt the way it sounds?

Why is it that if you send something by sea it's a cargo,
but if you send it by land it's a shipment?

And so on ..
