The "take whole classes of problems off the table" approach is what engineers consider elegance of design. It's that kind of elegance that is mostly lacking in how we do operating systems and security system design, today.
There is a structured systems design book I have (I think that's the one, anyway) that recommends input be conditioned as early in the data flow as possible so it's done and over with, and you can not have to worry about unconditioned data floating around in the system, being (similarly) conditioned in multiple places (code redundancy), etc. Similar concept.
